WWII Scale model’s

[Wudee]

Slowly moving along. Haven’t had a lot of bench time lately. Looking to wrap these up and get back on the diorama or maybe start an Me 262.

The detail in the work pictured in this thread is incredible.

Started working on this Me262. Progress is really slow due to the small PE parts. This is one of the rudder(?) pedals. The 262 was a leap forward in aircraft design and was the first operational jet aircraft. The B version was significant for being the first 2 seat jet powered night fighter with a pilot and a radar operator. Only 15 were converted from the single seat variant by the end of the war. This version was studied extensively and is said to be the basis for US and UK all weather jet aircraft. Pretty interesting history.

Cockpit nearly finished. The 20 or so etched metal detail parts I added are mostly hidden with the fuselage halves joined.

Gotta make a small base for it now. Can’t decide on grass, concrete or wood slats.

That's cool. When I was a kid I thought the NAZIs had the coolest looking war material.

A little 72nd scale 262 recently completed. Finished as a British capture 1945. I had to scratchbuild some missing parts and use leftover decals from other kits. I gave up on the vertical wire from the fuselage to the horizontal one, kept coming loose. Working on a 48 scale 262 and some stuff for the large diorama I started awhile back currently.

Been working on painting figures. A couple of practice pieces to learn some techniques.
