Here is my recently finished 1/72 scale Me 262 built SFTB using the Revell kit.
Paints used were Model Master enamels and markings are from EagleCals, I chose to mark this Me 262 as 'white 1' of KG(j)6 since I can't recall anyone else using these markings on their Me 262 model.
Les, Another outstanding build and equally impressive presentation. I was certainly hard pressed to realize that your build was in 1/72 scale. You've certainly set the standard here for presentation photography. Joel

Les, Great looking 262! I hadnt thought of the revell kit for a 1/72 262 but it certainly builds up nice. I really like your photo styles look like they come straight out of a luftwaffe ground crewmans photo album! Is black 7 another build or computer magic?

Very nice indeed! Great job on the paintwork, especially the mottling in this scale.
Cheers, D

Mike, The Me 262 'black 7' is an older build, its a 1/48 scale model. Often I will use models in different scales in my pictures for a forced perspective. The first image in this thread is of the Revell kit with a 1/100 scale Tamiya Me 262 lurking in the background...and further in the background is the backdrop I airbrushed.
