ME262 (and a FW190) using "Master Series" techniques.

It’s looking good! Try doing several pieces like on the P-38 nose.

Okay!

Okay!

Also, see if you can find a paper model and scale up... often times they come pretty close to what you can do with foam board.

ScratchbuildMast, I'm excited to see your take on an ME262!

Many years ago, they had an actual ME262 engine on display at the San Diego Air & Space museum. (Maybe still there?) It was my favorite display. I wasn't supposed to, but I put my hand on the engine just to get that "connection" to one of my all time favorite planes.

Watching for sure...

I can't wait to see my take on an ME262!

Food for thought:

Just gotta say, @Niez13 did a great Master Series FW190 - https://forum.flitetest.com/index.php?threads/foamboard-focke-wulf-190.58325/

And last year I made a pseudo master series ME 262 - traditional EDFs and FT fold over wings. I'm gonna have to go back at some point and redo it. Getting the nose right isn't as difficult as you think it'll be.

No updates today!

 

[ScratchBuildMast]

OOOO! THOUGHTS! I could make the nose removable and the edfs removable and make a prop me262... The ME263!

Instead of just another FW190 try either a FW190-D9 or even a TA152.

Have fun!

Yeah, a D9 would be great, I haven‘t seen any scratch build of one yet. Especially the ones operated in the JG44 fighter squadron during the last months of the war had a great paint scheme and would perfectly accompany the Me262. Their primary role in the JG44 was to protect the Me262 during take off and landing where they were most vulnerable.

What is the difference between a FW190A8 and d9?

 

[FL_Engineer]

No prob, Delorean won't start until April anyway.

You have my full support in this project!

You have my full support in this project!

That is four people in on the project!

What is the difference between a FW190A8 and d9?

The A8 had a short nose due to the BMW801 radial engine. The D9 had the Junkers Jumo 213 wich was a V12 engine. This resulted in a long nose fuselage.

Just found this photo of a D9... you see the difference

I found a paper model and this is what I've done so far!

Great! I see some flying delorean plans...

 

[Michael9865]

FW-190 A6 or A8 are two of my favorite.

Yeah! You bet! Excited!
