1/144 scale Nightfighter

Here is the other 1/144 scale Eduard Me 262 that I have been (slowly) working on, the Me 262B-1a/U1.
Yes this is a real world subject but still looks very much like a what-if to me!

On to the pics...

Nice work, Matrixone! I don't think I've ever seen that Luft-nightfighter scheme rendered more convincingly!

Gorgeous stuff

As if it was made by magical elves....and you surely have the tiny chains and whips to prove it.

Thanks guys!

This will be my last 1/144 scale model for a while, I still want to build the 1/144 scale Ju 52 thats in my stash so I can use it in the background of some of my airfield pics but may not get to it this year. There are a few models that I MUST build plus I want to paint another backdrop for use with my photobase which will take some time to do.

Really a small precious jewel. Nice Work

I'm surprised how fat the fuselage is when viewed from above

Thiel,
The view from above is not the usual angle one gets to see a Me 262 plus this paint scheme worn by this machine might make it look a little fat.
