Revell 1/32 ME262
Beautiful! I've got a great model of the 262. What a plane!
Unfortunately, I lost the cockpit canopy in a recent move, but still beautiful. IMG_1564942501.462376.jpg Last edited by Kerbie; 08-04-2019 at 12:15 PM.

Your 'Schwalbe' has a bigger cockpit than the standard model. 2 seater for some reason?

Nice models, folks. Good to see the airbrush alive and well in use still. I use a Paasche 3-in-1 and an Iwata hand piece.
Restoration - They retro-fitted two GE CJ610 turbojets to this restoration, IIRC, which is the engine that powered the early LearJet 20-series. With higher performance than the original Junkers Jumo 001 engines, they had to put new performance limiters on the plane to prevent exceeding the airframe's never exceed speeds.

There is a Me262 on permanent display in the Australian War Memorial in Canberra.
Here is a shot of it 'unassembled' - note the markings on the fuselage.   Here's a brief history of this plane, On 8 May 1945, in company with three other Me 262s, the aircraft was flown from Zatec by its pilot, Fahenjunker-Oberfeldwebel Hans-Robert Frölich, to surrender to the Allies. Frölich handed his aircraft to the British at Fassberg, in the Netherlands. A photograph of the aircraft at Fassberg can be seen on the Memorial's collection database as P01605.009. In late August it was later flown via Melsbroek and RAF Manston, to the Royal Aircraft Establishment in Farnborough, United Kingdom, arriving on 6 September 1945. Whilst in the UK it was assigned a new temporary identity 'AIR MIN 81'. These markings were applied in white paint on the sides of the aircraft over the German markings. The aircraft was subsequently flown 11 times with the Royal Aircraft Establishment and shipped to Australia, arriving on 22 December 1946. The aircraft was subsequently overpainted, and then displayed at the Australian War Memorial from 1955 until 1970. It was then loaned to the RAAF Museum, Point Cook, Victoria. In 1980, the aircraft's identity was investigated, with sections of the overlying paint being gently removed to reveal the aircraft's original markings and identity including the serial number 500200, the red nose and tail tip; British Air Ministry marking AIR MIN 81 on the fuselage; the original Luftwaffe crosses; and the British roundels. Black X is the only Me 262 bomber variant to survive, and is the only remaining Me 262 wearing its original paint.
