1/48 Messerschmitt Me-262B-1a

--------------------

 

Instead of waiting for Dragon's Me-262B trainer variant to appear, I chose to convert the existing two seat night fighter and a single seat variant using CMK detail set. The conversion set is good except for the wrongly shaped vacuformed canopy. I also utilized this set to install the rear compartment in the Dragon kit instead of the existing instrument operator compartment, which is completely different from the trainer version.

In all, the trainer version is a good substitute to the extremely limited variety of the two seater nightfighter for one of my favorite kits.
