Tamiya Masterwork 1:48 Me 262A-1a

Picked this one up from Rock at an incredibly unbelievable price (thanks Rock!) This one is weighted, so has a nice heft to it for plastic. Note: I did not attach aerials for this photo shoot as I did not want to damage them; also, I have yet to apply tail swazis.

I am curious on this one, Harry: would you put clear overcoats on this? If so, how would you avoid coating over the see through windows?

Clearcoating clear areas is not adviseable as flat-clearcoat will fog up the clear parts. The only way I would recommend clearcoating this is if you can mask off the clear sections/canopy.

Apparently, nowhere.. appear to be sold out all over the place and they go, or went, for anywhere from $80-150. Even HLJ is out of stock. So good news for the wallet I suppose -- I was looking for the Corsair. Put those internet super-sleuth skillz of yours to work Parsig!

Yeah, unfortunately, I think Pappy is right. I believe I got the last two on the planet! But if anyone can find one... its probably you, Parsig! And if you locate any, let me know, I still want the P-47. Several months after I bought the Corsair, I visited the web-site I purchased it from to snag the P-47, and all three models were gone and I haven't been able to locate the T-Bolt since that time.
