Great start, Tim....it looks like a really good kit which will not cause too many, if any, issues. The resin cockpit is an impressive detail. Will be hanging out for Ep 2....maybe 3???
Great to see this. I have a couple in my stash - the 1a and a U1. They have a good reputation for fit and they seem great value for a 1/48 kit. Looking forward to the build. They are large when finished! Cheers.
I’ve had the kit knocking about for years David, HobbyBoss seems to get German stuff right, whereas their British stuff can be wonky. I don’t why it’s taken me soo long to build it..
love a 262, probably my favourtie aircraft of all time. in regards to internal colours.. AFAIK from the nose section back they should be bare metal. The nose sections were supplied separate and due to materials used were primed and painted in RLM02 or sometimes in a light grey. Thats why you see photos of unpainted 262s where the nose area looks different to the rest. Also "Black 4" of Jg7 that had a replacement nose that was just primer.
Thanks Travis, I’m not pretending to know much about 262’s at all, so the more info I can get the better. My issue is actually keeping this info on my head!! More of the same mate pls..
RLM 66 is Black grey or "SchwartzGrau" in German... in some lights it has a grey/ blue hue and on other light it can have a deep greenish cast.... I think your version works just fine.
Great video Tim and super details in that kit, and the extras. With that lovely looking radio set, I'd be chopping out a window in the starboard side fuselage to make it visible. You must have got yourself a cool mancave layout with the new overhead camera....I need to get one myself, but wouldn't have a clue what type of video camera and tripod to achieve it with? Cheers for now :)
Thanks Marty.. overhead is just my iPhone on a desk clamp phone holder thingy, nothing exotic. Yeah mancave/bench is coming on still got a bit to do tho.. Speak soon 👍👍
Oh cool, that’s the kind of camera set up I need to fit my limited budget. Some phones limit the length of video recording time to like 2 minutes, I use an iPhone, but have no clue how long it will record for? 🤪
As long as you enough memory it’ll will keep recording. I only record a few minutes at a time anyway Mart, lots of editing. I have toyed with the idea of investing into a decent camera but I like the overhead rather than over-the-shoulder view.
Cheers Tim got the A 1 version, really impressed by the moulding and detail, are you going to have the radio hatch open because I don’t know what way it goes on? Does it open from the bottom or the top?
Ha! Me neither!! I don’t actually know, there is literally nothing to see, it might not be worth it as I want to keep the lines of the 262... tat goes for the gun bay too.. Ta my lord 👍
It's not the seeing it that counts, it's the knowing that it's there!!!
😊😊😊👍
Hahah fair enough Gary 😆

Looks like an awesome kit. Nice work,Sir. Have a great weekend. 👍
Yes it is.. and really cheap. About £15 you can pick them up for a tenner. Brilliant value. Thanks for taking the time Chas
Looking good. Nice to see you building something non-British!
Yeah Dave, it was time to move on for a bit. I have got some Brits in the pipeline but not yet 😉
Ta for stopping by mate

Maybe 3... depends on how I get on, I don’t want the vids too long obvs but also want to get as much in there as possible.
Ta Robbo, much appreciated
Nice one Tim improving with every video! 👍

Travis Thompson At last - someone else who knows what they’re talking about regarding 262s. A rare sight indeed!.

Rare indeed...
Nice work. Definitely everyone needs to get one of these they are so nice to build and cheap too
Thanks Was Rio my thoughts too...
Really good vid Tim. Looking forward to seeing rest of them to completion. Nice to hear some chat as opposed to mind numbing music throughout! Cheers
Thanks Andy, I try not to drone too much but likewise it can’t be all music either...
Click that bell icon to get notified for part 2 😀👍
Wow Tim :) 🏆🍺

Yeah… it’s a funny colour Brett. Thank you mate
What did it come with in the box, And what was aftermarket?
Hi Henry... aftermarket is :
Cockpit
Wheels
Radio gear
Decals
Quite a bit if you consider not really any of it is needed 🙂🤓

RLM 66 means black-gray and not black-blue.
which color goes well is from Vallejo No. 71055
Thanx for the info... 👍
This kit fits so badly, you have to use tons of putty.
