Lord Steff,

I know tamiya has 1/48 Me262, real nice. Don't know anything about 1/32 though. I am sure there is no 1/35 Me262.

1/35 is not a plane scale.
I think the biggest you'll find is 1/48th for this plane.
companys that make one : Tamiya, DML and Revell

Revell's model is a reboxing of the DML one and it's much cheaper.

If you can find them, there are 1/32 ME-262's out there. I did a couple of checks but couldn't find any right away. Might try ebay. MPM made a 1/18 scale 262 but not sure if it's still available. These are old kits though.

I've only found one Me 262 in 1/32 scale. The Great Models Web Store lists one by Haswgawa (#Ha 08123). This is probably an old ex Revell kit, as the site also list two from them but as OOP.

The 1/32 Hasegawa kit isn't the same as the 1/32 Revell. The Hase kit is OLD, however. Brittle plastic, raised panel lines, the works. AFAIK, the kit is generally accurate, and there aren't any horrendous fit problems. You might try asking around at www.skywriters.net (the 1/32 Special Interest Group site) IMHO, unless you're really stuck on 1/32, go for the 1/48 Tamiya kit. it even has a nifty Kettenkrad for a tow vehicle, and figures.
