Messerschmitt Me-262 A-1a Tamiya 1/48 Full Build
Вставка
- Опубліковано 21 жов 2024
- Ive built Tamiya's 1/48 scale Messerschmitt Me-262 A-1a model plane. This was the worlds first jet fighter aircraft and took to the skies during WWII. Ive used a both Tamiya & Vallejo acrylic paint for the fuselage/cockpit/wings. Some of the engine parts, wheel bays, and interior fuselage were painted with Alclad II lacquer. I used a small amount of Abteilung oil paints for weathering. I used Aires kits 4203 & 4206 for the flaps and slats on the wings. These are typically extended when the plane is stationary and the Tamiya kit does not provide options for this. I did not use any photo etch on this kit. I used Iwata & Badger airbrushes.

Nice to see that the main landing gear are angled inwards by six degrees each! A lot of builders miss that on the Me262.
Thanks, Tamiya did a good job designing the gear to fit that way
Excellent 262! The way you started with the details in the pit continued through the model. Good work with the mottle, and weathering.Another beautiful build, Congrats!
Thanks I'm very pretty happy with how it turned out
THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH FOR ADDING THE PROCEDURAL TEXT - A VERY BIG HELP!
Thanks and glad you find it useful!
Excellent video & job building your Tamiya Me-262 A-1a too!
Thanks 👍
There are lots of good build vids out there and yours is one of the best. What I like about you is the way you reply to each comment. Very cool.
I appreciate that! Thanks for the good feedback
Great build! I remembered Tamiya used to have a version of this me262 with clear body and full interior... Shame that they are not selling it anymore...
Kannagi you can still purchase it.
Great video and build. Nice attention to detail by adding the dropped slats and flaps. Nicely painted as well. I am wondering though, if re-scribing the panel lines was required since the fuselage had them filled and smoothed sanded?
You did a fantastic job of that ME262! Looks amazing :)
Thanks!
Really nice job....great build....very detailed model. Really enjoyed the lot....build, paint and weathering. Very inspiring....been thinking of getting myself a Me 262 in 1/32 scale and now I will after seeing your build....many thanks!
Thanks, it's definitely a cool plane. Good luck with your build.
You know once in awhile you come across a build that inspires you I've had this kit in my stash for awhile your build and paint I had to go dig it out and make it the next build nice detail work on the cockpit and engines you really nailed the late Lufftwaffe paint scheme keep up the good work Bruce
Thank you and glad I could spark your interest! It was a fun kit.
This is superb work. I am about to start this kit and this is really inspiring and useful. Thank you
Thanks and good luck with your build 👍
Simply the best ,its so relaxing watching this keep them coming
Thanks! Will do!
Great build.
👍👍👍
Hi, did the kit come with weights for the nose section? I've heard it's hard to get the nose to sit level, great build!
yes it does. You can see it at 9:15 and its molded into the shape of the nose so it fits perfectly. No extra weight required.
Very nice work.
Thanks!👍👍
Spectacular kit, in the hands of a master, knowledgeable about aircraft. Thank you for the enjoyment of watching!
One clarification: gauges (spelling, writing are my expertise). I am not picking nits: if one errs in one area, one can miss them in others. (Mine is maths!)
I recently had determined a way to light up the instrument panel dials, lights, etc: some Eduard photo-etched detail sets include (or had) a film of the dials that align precisely with their PE instrument. A small light shortly behind it would illuminate them; add a diffuser, and paint the interior white to enhance reflection. (However, Eduard since had taken a different path with pre-painted, full-colour instruments, unfortunately. I wish they made full- colour dials on the film.)
...
haha no worries, I missed that typo at some point along the way. I agree with you and its annoying to see lol
Great job! You should try doing the Tamiya 1/48 Bf-109 G-6. I have it and it is a wonderful kit.
I agree, Ill likely be building it sometime next year
Lovely build! What is the airbrush that you use for fine work please?
It's a Badger Sotar 20/20 with the "fine" needle. It's 0.2mm
That is some next-level shit. Very nice. Quick Q. Why did you go to the effort of doing the cockpit wiring if it was going to be covered up and never seen (much like how you left the gun bay unpainted)?
Thanks, You can actually see a tiny bit of the cockpit wiring thru the front windshield on the finished plane.
Excellent work!!!!!
Thanks!!!
Awesome job. A great build of a great aircraft.
Thank you!
Great work mate!! Totally in Love with this plane! And you Build it really Great! Don’t hear on the haters, like you said : Priority 1 Build cool Models!;) keep it on! Always like watching your Videos!:)
I appreciate that. This was a fun plane to paint. Anyways, I know there's been a big improvement in video quality between this one and the first few videos I made. Haters gonna hate.
Beautiful job! You do great work 👍
Thank you! 👍
amazing work as usual
Thank you!
Great Work 👍 I like the idea with the copper wire behind the fittings
Thanks! It was tedious work
You killed it assassin!! See what I did there?! 😊 awesome build and I loved all that extra detail you put on there! 👌🏻
haha yes I do! Thanks Ill keep em coming
Hello
I am building the same
Can you give me Aires reference for flap and anti stall device ?
Hard to know the good reference with 2 option
Check the video description for the Aires part numbers
good job mate well done
Thanks!
Muy buen trabajo, lo felicito! Mis saludos cordiales desde Argentina!
Muchas gracias. Saludos desde Texas!
Awesome video! Ive seen your KLM DC10 video and I assume that you can paint models with a brush without a airbrush? I probably assume it won’t turn out as good.
Appreciate it. You can indeed paint without an airbrush and I did that for many years when I was younger. With proper thinning and technique, you can make it look very good. The only paint I use which truly needs to be airbrushed is alclad lacquer (seen in the dc-10 video and some in this video). I prefer airbrushing now because its easier to get a smooth consistent finish and it also looks better for blending soft camo lines IMO.
Scale Model Assassin alright thanks! lol
Very nice build...wish I could do that....
Thanks!
I tried many times but Can’t make camo pattern line. Dunno problem with single action airbrush, thinning (normally %50-50 or Tamiya acrylics or exact psi ?
I did a lot of practice off to the side before I got it right. Using a small needle will help too. I used 0.2mm. you could try adding more thinner if 50/50 isn't working out for you. I did a lot of experimenting with both thinning and air pressure before I got to a point I liked. Good luck!
I had trouble also with my airbrush, then i used a friend's Iwata double action airbrush and WOW!! with some practice you can get very precise lines.
Does it have retractable landing gear? I just got this kit and I am wondering.
You can select if you want the wheels up or down but once you've built it, they're permanently fixed with whichever you chose.
@@ScaleModelAssassin a little bit of a hard decision.
Hello from Ohio .New subscriber here . Just wondering what kind of airbrush you are using and what air pressure ? Keep up the good work .
Thank you and welcome to the channel! The silver airbrush is an Iwata hp-cs with 0.35mm tip. It's my workhorse for large coverage and I use it at around 16-18 psi. The black one is a badger sotar 20/20 with a 0.2mm tip. I use it for fine details and mottling at slightly lower pressure (12-16). I practice the fine mottling and detail work on spare sprue or paper to help get the right feel/look.
You might want to look around and see what modelers on forums are saying about airbrushes as well as the YT hobby channel guys.
You'll probably have to buy the airbrush online unless you want to take a chance on the models they're selling or have in stock at Hobby Lobby. The airbrushes they had in stock were Iwata's and they were probably at least $89 if I remember correctly. A good airbrush is not cheap but I've heard people make do well with $40-$45 models but the ones that give you "more options" are generally more expensive like anything!
The last I checked, I didn't see any airbrushes at Michaels. As it is, both stores are scaling back on their modeling sections and the dedicated modeling stores are dying out.
I live in the Columbus area and the two modeling stores I was aware of locally have both closed down and the only "easy-access" stores with modeling supplies are Michaels and Hobby Lobby. A year ago, those two stores were carrying more Star Trek models than they do now but they've clamped down harder on their modeling sections and reduced inventory of sci-fi models but still have cars, planes, and ships in stock. Ironically, if you wanted Gundam or Bandai Star Wars kits, you'd have a better chance of finding those at Barnes & Noble!
(Another place that may have useable supplies for modeling is Blick Art Store in Dublin. They probably carry some useable acrylic and enamel paints for models.)
Online is cheaper unless a stores is closing out/has a clearance sale on models they will not carry again. HL and Michaels did that with a lot of Star Trek model kits this past year!
Beautiful build sir - particularly like the added wiring and dropped slats! I did the same kit myself last year and wondered how the 'green' RLM paint schemes would have turned out... I went for the dark jazz one myself (ua-cam.com/video/pklcPTd6Upo/v-deo.html)
One odd question - did your decal sheet come with the tail swastika ones clipped off? Mine were missing when I opened the box despite being labelled in the manual so i had to mask my own...
Thank you very much! The decals did include the swastikas even though the box and instructions dont print them. I wonder if your country required they be removed from the kit? I watched your video and the build looks good as well as the painted on swastika. Looks like we both use a lot of the same paints and other materials.
very nice build mate , learning a lot from you , just ignore the idiot's , and keep the build's or builb's coming .
Awesome! Thanks, I think I picked up a few trolls in this comment section .
unfortunately they're out there .
top build!
Thanks!
Amazing
Thank you!
Nice build, but i cannot recommend Vallejo paints, coz they are hard to control, bad covering and make sometimes ,,fat eyes,, better are Gunze/Mr.Hobby Paints, they are easy to handle and good covering and dry in satin surface
I've never used gunze, mainly because it's not sold at my local store. My go to is Tamiya but ocassionally Ill use Vallejo.
Why go to all that trouble to add wires to the back of the cockpit panel only to cover them up and never to be seen. Makes no sense to me.
Might be hard to see in my pictures but those wires are actually slightly visible on the finished model when you look thru the front windshield.
Great build!, shame about the music though, makes for a more relaxing watch....🤔
Yea I know, the music creator changed his mind a few months after the video was made and stopped allowing free use of his music. I need to go back and see if I can at least throw some new music in there without re-uploading the vid
Build the heller's m4a2 sherman "Leclerc division" in 1/72 its an amazing kit
I looked the kit up and it must have some good detail to have that many parts in 1/72 scale. Looks nice
@@ScaleModelAssassin its most likely the best 72nd sherman on the market!!! Cant go wrong
Maybe make a wreck of a ww2 (or modern)plane?
Those dioramas are always cool looking. One of these days I think I'll try my hand at that. Will probably start off with a simple base first.
@@ScaleModelAssassin good luck :)
Nice
Thank you!
This is the first model i have ever made (note I have only been building models since November of 2018) I still have yet to paint it because i have been worling on other models. It did not turn out as good as I hoped.
The more you build, the better you will get. Just keep it up and dont be afraid to paint them :)
@@ScaleModelAssassin I am almost done painting my airfix he-111 and I finished painting my revell ho-229 and am almost done with decals.
I purchased my paint booth in the same place you bought yours.....lol
Lol it works pretty well for low budget photography
Do some modern fighter jets
Yea ive got a few on my list. With Xmas around the corner, I'm looking to stock up
never understood the mindset of rivet counters, a model is an approximation, you will never recreate the real thing unless you build a full scale reproduction.
The mind cant go blank in my line of work...LOL
Sir; landing gear covers are called Gear Door's LOL
haha my mind went blank and I completely forgot what to call them
I can't see it in this video quality
If I start a Patreon, will you contribute so I can get some professional lighting and video equipment?
Self actualisation!
So...can I have some help it is my First time this is my only favourite jet and most of the paper is jap
Ooo. Has the 40 rocket load out. Time to annihilate some heavy bombers
Lol yes!
I don't need any instructions how to build a model. I can build models and i'm not interested in how you do it!
Who was asking you for this?
sorry it's a great model. I can't do this.
basic builb was OK, but.... U really need to learn how to proper use airbrush pistol... assembly 9/10 airbrush 4/10
What do you think I need to improve with my airbrushing?
Very low quality of video.
Priority 1: Build cool model
Priority 2: Film it
There is nothing wrong with the video. I just watch it in 1080p60. It is the YT server that processes low all the formats and perhaps by the time you watch it it was available only in 360p. It is happening. Check back later.
@@PanzergrauModels Yep it's only giving me the option of 360 as well. Added to my watch later list.
