Here is my recently finished 1/72 scale Special Hobby Me 262 Three Seat Nightfighter.
The model was built SFTB and painted with Model Master enamels.

Wow! Neat, a great build, like the Gotha 229 in the background too. Russell

I really like all the late-war German airplanes, and yours is amazing!


Kind regards.

Thanks for the comments guys!

This kit was a much older Special Hobby kit and had some clunky oversized parts in it but with a little extra effort I managed to finish it.

There is one other 1/72 scale Me 262 I have recently finished and its a much better build than this Nightfighter, I hope to be posting pics of it soon.

Maybe not a true Me 262 but part of the Me 262 family tree.

eerie,
The staff car was built from the 1/72 scale Hasegawa kit.
