Model Forum / General / Models / March 2006ME 262
I am looking to purchase two Me 262 dragon kit s1/48. The first is the version with the glass nose for the bomb aimer to sit. The second two seated version . Can anyone help. Thanks As far as I'm aware, the Me262 (German jet fighter of WW2) did not come with a version featuring a "glass nose" for a "bomb aimer". There's is a DML\Dragon 1/48 kit of one. Whether it existed in actuality, I don't know.

A friend of mine was a tail gunner on a B-17 towards the end of the war. He told me on one mission he was sitting there reading Stars and Stripes since the Luftwaffe was for all intensive purposes gone. A fast moving bogie was called out on his position. All he saw was a couple of seconds of flashes with the 17 off to the port side blowing up with the 262 flashing by - only time he ever saw a 262.

Jim i talked to a lot of vets during the 60's and 70's who were amazed that the germans had jets. they never knoew it! they were ground pounders, though, not flyers. Dad was aware of them but then he was in anti-aircraft. He claimed that the jets were faster than their radar tracking. Is that possible?

An experimental conversion of a standard Me 262A-2a airframes. So far as I know, only two were ever built - W.Nr.110555 and W.Nr 110484. Production was proposed under the designation Me 262A-3 but never actually begun. Photos of both aircraft appear in Creek and Smith's Jet Planes of the Third Reich on pages 114 and 116. Cheers, Try ebay - I got my B-1a/U1 twin seat night fighter there. ebay germany for example has approx. 5 Dragon 262's for auction right now. May be one of your items is among them >I am looking to purchase two Me 262 dragon kit s1/48. >The first is the version with the glass nose for the bomb aimer to sit. > The second two seated version . >Can anyone help. >Thanks *time is an enemy* |
