Fixing Dragons Me-262-2B (finished)

Like many other members, I was really disappointed by Dragons effort on their Me-262B Nightfighter.. While working on another project today, I got the urge to do something about mine.. I still need to touch up the paint and/finish the canopy and I do have decals on order, so I should be able to finish this pretty soon..

Re: Fixing Dragons Me-262-2B

That looks great! I'm too lazy to do this kind of work myself (plus maybe not as skilled as you are, Hworth, this really looks very professional), so I hope some other brand comes up with a more accurate version, or maybe Dragon themselves will re-issue the same model in a better livery.

Re: Fixing Dragons Me-262-2B

So, are you going into production? We send our Dragons and you repaint and add markings for a price?

Looking forward to seeing it finished.
