Hi!

Here's Hasegawa's Me262 in scale 1/72. Assembling the model was quite easy except engines and radar antenna. I also had some problems with engines' decals and even Microset didn't help.

Interesting build there. I don't think I am familiar with the color scheme you have done. Green wings with night colors on the fuselage? Interesting and good work. Russell

I just followed Hasegawa's instructions. The only difference I made is that grey spots should be grey green. I also found this:
