ME 262 ... which one?
ME 262 ... which one?
I want to get another 262 ( I do have the white $7) with a camo pattern, but cannot decide between the yellow #7 or the night fighter. Looking at pictures is much harder than up close so I thought I'd ask of those that have both which is the better looking, more preferred plane.
Thanks!

I ran this same thread about a year ago or so and ultimately decided to go with the Yellow 7 - it is beautiful. Although I must admit that I also got the Night Fighter later and it is also great but I still lean toward the Yellow 7.

Get both and you will not be disappointed!

The cockpit on the 21C single seat fighter is roomy enough to comfortably fit the pilot figure and close the canopy with no problem. The night fighter is a little tougher on the radar operator figure... It's a pretty tight fit and your canopy pretty much touches the top of the radar operator's head. with some work it fits.Lance Quazar wrote:No one has any info. regarding cockpit size on these planes???

The problem with the 21c ME-262 cockpits are not the size (they are perfectly scaled) but the somewhat oversized figures. The ME-262 pilot figure fits into the cockpit of the "Yellow 7" ME-262A quite well, but on account of its size, sits a little high and has to lean back slightly to fit. The same goes for the pilot in the front seat of the "Nightfighter" ME-262B. The radar operator figure is really a tight squeeze and 21c actually made a set of removable "scrunched" legs for the figure so it could fit in the rear seat. That was a nice little touch.
I would get both 21c ME-262s since they are practically two different aircraft
