This is my
version of the well photographed Messerschmitt Me 262A "711"
that fell into the hands of the Americans during the final days of the
War. Later, it was transferred to the US and served as a career
enhancer for pilots looking for check flights on different aircraft types.
Finally, it crashed somewhere in Ohio, I think.
I used a
Dragon kit to try and replicate the wear and tear on the bare metal
and patches of primer. It still does not look quite right, perhaps because
of the inherent sleek image that the "Schwalbe" has.
