Nice turboprop 262 

[perttime]

Just saw another Me 262 with turboprop on Deviantart: https://www.deviantart.com/thekofchris3d/art/Poland-me-262-with-turboprop-861886278



The cockpit is near the nose on that one, though.

And it looks like they used the same turbo-prop too.

..thanks, that's from my deviantart account  The model is the me-262 schnellbomber with the cockpit forward. Maybe i will do the regular b-1 one day, just because

That looks to me like a Meteor conversion, not a 262.

Agreed. It looks like a Tweed Trent  Meteor to me.   corrected later

Trent meteor  if I  would  hazzard a guess. Just to meander  a tad, after talking to  one of special hobbies  staff, regarding the  trent meteor  kit, they are considering  re releasing it in 1/72nd scale.  Which is nice

There's a nice article in the last quarter's Air-Britain Aviation World about the Trent Meteor. Even has a photo of the small diameter prop they tried, it went from 7'-7" diameter to 4'-10". First time I had seen a pic of it and looks really odd. But an interesting snippet of info was that the RN was very interested in a turbo-prop Meteor and there were proposals to install Dart and/or Mamba engines. There's an artist impression of the Mamba powered Meteor taking off from an aircraft carrier attached to the article.

They always work in pairs lol

I can see the similarities to the Trent Meteor but it is a bomber version of the 262 with the forward canopy position, look at the tail shape and the thickness of the wings...

I tried without success to do a image search for the 262 variant/offshoot with the forward canopy, I know I've seen it before...

Found it, should have just searched for what nadvgia said it was because that's exactly what it's called, the Me 262 Schnellbomber...

Not really a whif, but...

I've never wanted a ride on mower until now.

Turning circle might be a bit crap through.

What's even weirder is that it looks like the rider rode it down to the local store, presumably mowing the road as they went!

I'm told choppers can handle very well, when you get the geometry right. Perhaps not quite like a regular lawn tracktor, though.
