I would like opinions on 1/48 Me-262 kits.

What I’m looking to do is hack a 262 for a Mistel 4 set-up.



Have a Dragon (#5529) Me-262 A-2a/U2 to use as the control plane and a trolley (ANT-03) on the way from Antares Models .



I have been kicking around the idea of doing a Me-262 Mistel 4 in 1/48 since I got the MPM 1/72 Me-262 Mistel (#72112) kit a couple years back. Was not real motivated to scratch the trolley myself.

Should I get another Dragon 262, a Nichimo 262 (#4812), a Hasegawa (#86819) or use the Italeri 262 (#2613) for the drone?

TIA,

Dave

I've got an old Nichimo Me-262 kicking around somewhere if you have trouble finding something suitable.

Hi Dave,

I'd suggest using the DML 262. That way the level of detail, panel lines and dimensions will match............Mike T

Thanks Mike. Never saw it that way. Must be a forest for the trees thing.

Rob, thanks for the offer.

Now am I obligated to do the conversion and post pictures? I'll try to do a kit review when I do get the trolley.

Dave;
I have the same idea. But in case u aren't aware
Dragon makes this Mistel already OOB. GO TO Dragon website and search aircraft
