Me 262 HG V.

[PACOPEPE]

Seeking the most advanced and fast project of the Me 262´s family, could be this: Me 262 HG V: the fuselage of high speed of the Me 262 HG I, with some improvements: the wings with a steeper angle (as the Me 262 HG II), a new more aerodynamic tail, and a single more powerful engine; innovations that were collected years more later by the american F-86 Sabre.

What? A Me 262 with a nose air-intake? How do you dare such an heresy, such a... what-ifery!?
Only someone like Tophe would clap his hands, both of you will be condemned!

Ohh now thats a nice idea, should be a good one to watch come together

So the fuselage is from an Me 262 and the flying surfaces and the intake are from a Sabre?

I'm amazed it seems to fit together so well! Nice thinking.

Looks good as a model but just not sure where the engine really fits - but it will look really great - look forward to seeing this one

Me as well

Good idea !

Behind the pilot, with the ducting going around each side of the cockpit tub? Looks ok to me.

Cracking idea, Fran!

Hum... Nice use of the PM F-86 Sabre plastic blob

I like the idea. More like the P1101 melded into an Me-262. The wings seem to have an enormously thick trailing edge (bottom photo optical illusion?), but otherwise "right" in angle and span. I know Heinkel was working on a series of very powerful jet engines near the end of the war--maybe ONE of them would have similar or greater thrust than the standard two Jumo 004's and could propell this new HGV. Good luck.

Thanks to all. PR19 kit: it wasn´t easy to join pieces of both aircraft. I had to forced the triangular section of Me 262´s fuselage up to coincide with the F-86´s intake.

Dumaniac: As pyro-maniac and SR say, i imagine that the engine should be behind the cocpkit; i think like the Me 1110 (similar to swedish Lansen).

Anyway, i find the result of the fusion fascinating, as the logical future evolution of the Me 262.

Slerski: Yes!, it´s the kit of PM of the F-86..... not easy.

Craig: yes, i´ve to continue working to make the rear edge of the wings. I had to cut previous the F-86´s wings.

Cheers

Great concept!!

If you cut off the wing tip, then cut out a section of the MIDDLE of the wing chord (where the wing is thickest--#1 in the pic), you can add the tapered trailing edge of the F-86 wing (#2) and avoid trying to re-shape that thick trailing edge. That will keep a proper airfoil. I have done just such a thing on a past project. Food for thought.

Ii think it would perfect Craig, but; unfortunately, the longitudinal cut of the wing has done irrecoverable the trailing edge. I have to work more with the sandpapper.

Thanks

At last i can to resume this job!

I´ve changed the wings. These are better, with better attack edge, and join with the fuselage too.
