Japanese Me-262A 1/32 scale

I like it, and that was a clever, Japanese-style semi-swastika in the tail!!

Where are the R4M rockets, whose racks are empty??

Thanks for the cudos...guys....I sense a group of free spirits on this forum....that's cool..!

BTW, Gary, I'm w/you hoping that Revell reissues the Messaschnitzel, I would like to do a Messaschnitzel Z and also a desert Messaschnitzel (109F type) with tropical filter, you get the picture...

Cheers,

Looks great!

Thanks..!  So being a "wiffer" is a good thing..   Some of the builds I've seen on this site are quite amazing exercizes in kitbashing and story telling...I find myself repeating the phrase...man that is cool...

I have a number of ideas/concepts I think about (armchair "what-if" modeling)...you know, mutant plastic..
So I'll have to get cracking on the building of them...

Wow that really is very nice!!!!! Thanks for sharing your work and welcome aboard.

There was a comic around a couple of years ago which featured a luftwaffe all red Me-262. I have it some where here. I will have to dig it up. I bought the trumpeter 1/32 scale kit to do in that scheme.

That would make a few JMN's heads explode!!

Often thought about doing the 262 with the fancy red with white striped bottom. This is a cool version.

CPNGROATS being a whiffer is a great thing but beware ,it is highly addictive. Instead of seeing a cool real world model and thinking "Boy I bet I could make that look good" you begin thinking stuff like "I bet those Me 262 wings would look really cool on a Mustang" OR "What would a jet biplane look like?"

[CPNGROATS]

That's looking like an upengined Gladiator...what a surprise for the Luft. types over Malta... Hans..! Was est lose???
Was est zat.. Gott un Himmel!!    "The Hun in the Sun...gets undone!!"....

I **SUPPOSE** a jet could have spats (Gloster-Sabre pic)--since there is precedence with the He-178.

I present my example--the Fairey Cuttlefish:

Does the cuttlefish has STOL capability..?  Looks like it would have some serious lift...

>Does the cuttlefish has STOL capability..?  Looks like it would have some serious lift...<

Yup. Intended that way. You know Fairey and biplanes! The early jets needed too much airstrip to take off and land, so carrier use was curtailed until something could be worked out. Fairey, the leader in naval biplane technology, came up with the biplane jet! It's a torpedo-bomber, and the tube over the twin jets will shoot out a torpedo backwards (facing forward) to bleed off speed as the ship is approached. Hence the "Cuttlefish" name!

S.Ranger:  Could you post some additional pics of the Cuttlefish..showing different angles/views of the a/c....
