Hi, this is my first submission to ARC. What a great web site.  This is my "Green 1" Me-262, modeled after Major Rudolf Sinner of III/JG 7. I painted it with Tamiya acrylics and Model Master enamels. Weathering was held to a minimum. I am still practicing with chalk and oils.

I only had minor fit problem with the cannon compartment cover, nothing a little putty and sanding could not fix.

I equipped "Green 1" with the R4M air to air rockets. This was a great model to build. I am looking forward to building the Me-262 A-2a fighter bomber version soon.
