Regular visitors to the Aircraft forum will hardly need introducing to the superb quality of Bill Lachance''s work, but here - and long overdue (my bad!) - is the first of an ongoing series showcasing Pixelater''s models.

Hi guys - sorry, I should have added to the intro that this is the TriMaster 1/48 scale Me 262 with True Details resin wheels and scratch-built wiring and hydraulic lines.

All the best

Hi Andy

The "orange things" are R4M rocket racks.

All the best

Thanks Rowan, I thought they might be rocket pods or radiators :-) .

It is great to see the showcasing of Bills models they are always inspiring and can be used as reference.
It shows the sort of impact that Bills excellent models have when, a modeller who only builds armour, posts for the first time in Aircraft
Hi Brian, welcome to Armorama or should it be Airorama
