hehe here's my new plane! the Messerschmitt Me 262 Schwalbe!
just finished this honey up yesterday. this is the Messerschmitt Me 262 Schwalbe (which means Swallow in German) this was the very first operational jet fighter that Germany had developed to combat the Allies. unfortunately for them, and fortunately for us, the Jet arrived too late in the war to make much of a difference. I was actually surprised to see swastikas in the decals. but I was relieved, cos with my Bf 109G, I had to DRAW the swastika on. and I prefer my German planes to be historically accurate. but I found this model at a hobbyshop that JUST re-opened several months after the December 3rd, 2007 floods. I was happier than a tornado in a trailer park when I heard the Hobbyshop finally opened. XD but yeah, I was searching for a B-24J but stumbled across this, and bought it cos i couldn't find a proper B-24 model. I think the camo is effed up, but the overall construction looks fine. that lil white thing there is what's holding up the plane. the tail section's too heavy for it to stand up by itself. and those things with white tips beside the engines are rockets. they were optional. I thought it would look more menacing with rockets strapped to it rather than bombs.
the kit is 1:48 scale, made by Revell. the plane was made by the German Messerschmitt company.
