This model was completed in
1997. The kit cost $12.00 CDN plus $13.00 CDN for the Eduard photoetched
set.
The model has rescribed
panel lines. An Eduard photoetch set 48-153 was used to enhance the
model. The photoetch set included a complete cockpit with photoetch
seat, landing gear doors, main landing gear bay spars and ribs, and a
piece of PE for the open engine nacelle bay.

The model was
painted using Gunze arcylic paint. Color scheme on the top
surface is the two tone greys (RLM 74 and RLM 75) used during May to
latter part of 1944 in some Kommando units. As in most
cases, the bottom is RLM 76. This color scheme, as indicated
in my reference books, was said to be discontinued on Me-262 in very
late 1944 and certainly not used in 1945.
