Check 'Classic Publications' Me 262 Volume 2 book, there are very good shots of the installation on the aircraft.

Book is out of print
all i have found out the six gun was a kit that Messerschmitt made was called (Umrustbaustaz kit)

Woot thanks very much OllieC this is going to help a lot

DTC,

as I was searching for available kits and some reference for my possible Me 262 project in the future I came across a site where a guy had scratchbuilt extra guns to his Me 262. I think it was a 4 gun version but he had nice closeups on the added holes and guns (hatch open). I bookmarked some pages so hopefully I can find you that link when I get home.*

*UPDATE : I didn't bookmark that page

Btw has anyone built the Mistel variant of this plane? It looks interesting (I'm a sucker for weird stuff). What do people reckon is the best Me 262 kit?

Hi,

ML 31 Me 262 Schwalbe

Well as far as I know Dragon makes one in 48 scale for Me262 not sure if any one else does

Dragon also makes another Mistel in 48 scale but it's hard to find.
