Me-262 and derivatives

[Archibald]

Sorry to hijack the thread... I thinks its because of that

Didn't saw the difference between Blackhawk and Black Hawk... very subtile!!!  

...or that...

Very nice,particularly when one knows that the J-29 was a Ta-183 derivative  

I stop hijacking this thread after this post, I promise

thanks!!! Have you ever seen the training version of the Il-28 Beagle? just get ride of the the "ordinary" cocpit and you have a beautiful plane (Il-28U Mascot... )

Going back to the thread: here is the single-seat front Il-28V (from http://www.simonb6.co.uk/2003-01/MLP-90S3-1.jpg )... less sexy than the prone seat-less Meteor, I think... Thanks anyway.

Apparently there WAS a conversion for it.  I know someone who has one.

Question to the Wooksta!: is the model of the Prone Meteor a vacform (alas) or injected (great!)?

Well so I am new to this forum but i was told that you all could help me out with a project I am working on. I am building a Me 262 into a carrier aircraft. So fare I am making it a turbo prop by using the Unicraft Conversion Kit for this. I am also working on a new canopy that will side back. I am open to any other ideas that someone may have. Also I can't figuer out how I want to paint it up to look like. If anyone has any ideas what might like good I am open for ideas.

;DThanks!

Hi & Welcome aboard,

RLM 72 & 73 are usually considered 'maritime' colours and the transition to KM doesn't seem to great a stretch,  I've done quite a few different types in what I like to call 'early' & 'late' schemes over on my thread (http://www.whatifmodelers.com/index.php/topic,13993.2490.html) although you'll have to wade through a few pages to find the KM types unless you utilise the search engine.  Failing that, this is a list of the types I've done:

B5N1 (German Stores), Kriegsmarine
B5N2 (German Stores), Kriegsmarine
D3A2 (German Stores), Kriegsmarine
D3Y1 (German Stores), Kriegsmarine
F1M2, Kriegsmarine x 2
J1N1, Kriegsmarine
J2M3, Kriegsmarine x 2
Ka-15, Kriegsmarine x 2
He-70 (Carrier Mods), Kriegsmarine Pre War
He-118 (Carrier Mods), Kriegsmarine Pre War
He-118 (Carrier Mods & Torpedo), Kriegsmarine Pre War
Ki-74, Kriegsmarine
Su-12, Kriegsmarine

If you can't find them but are interested, PM me and I'll get you pointed in the right direction.

Here's one Richards (akak Gekko_1) did earlier:

Hi folks,

I couldn't find a thread dedicated to the Me-262 and/or derivatives so here goes.

Here's an idea I've been playing with for another project - a Turboprop version of the Me P.1099 (which was itself a derivative of the Me-262 - it utilised the wings and tail of the Me 262).  The plan is that this is would be a carrier based bomber, somewhat similar to the North American AJ Savage:

Another idea is for this turboprop Me-262 ground attack aircraft.  Maybe as the ultimate Ju-87 replacement:



The turboprops giving longer endurance in the ground attack role with the added benefit of tail guns.  Note also the attached RATO for added boost with a large bomb load.

Greg

How about a dedicated prone piloted Me-262:

Or maybe someone wanted a turboprop version giving better forward visibility:

Is there any variant seating more than 2?

[sagallacci]

The various '262B3 and beyond nightfighters were three seaters, though had a stretched fuselage to accomodate them.

[GTX]

Yes, there were a number of Me-262 derivatives with 3 seats.

Maybe a very crude ejection seat testbed:

Gtx,

Love the design.

I have a Revell Me P1099 part built that I started around 5 odd years ago. I used the Unicrap turboprop and had planned it as a nightfighter with a long nose radar like the late war Ju88/388. Never got finished as the Unicrap turbo conversion is a piece of poo-poo (with an english accent). PSR ad infinitum  . I hope one day I'll get it finished but too many other good kits in front of it

I've got the Unicraft conversion to do most of this one Greg,  the rear facing gun blisters are a thought though, hmmm! They should be on a bit of an angle as the fuselage is triangular at that point where you have them.  It's a three seater too.
