I recieved my nightfighter today and as everyone says is very very nice. i don't need to go into detail but I find that having the radio mans legs not attached makes it ten times easier to get him in. another thing that the landing gear doors some how get glued so they always get broken and theres really no way to fix it. it's just a small part that seems to get broken every time. other then that it's a beaut and if you have any money left over and theres a sale get it, you won't be disapointed.

Just received this from BadCat. It is incredible. 21c has raised the bar. The only minor prob' is the nose gear door, it is way too loose to stay closed, but since I have everything hanging the fishline will hold it in place.

The main prob' is that 21c has let us know what they can do, so no excuses in the future can be acceptable.

Has anyone else noticed the discrepancy in wing dihedral between the 21st century Me-262a/b and the Admiral toys version? I have the nightfighter, and Admrial's Nowotony scheme and the angle is extremely different between the two!! I have looked at a lot of reference photos, and it seems that perhaps the 1:1 262's wings have a dihedral that is somewhere in between each companies' models. not quite as extreme as Admirals, but a bit more than 21st century's. Does anyone else have an Opinion on this?

Picked up my nightfighter from MTS today. As always, wonderful service from the Jones boys. I am highly impressed with the detail. This cements my opinion that these are no longer toys but very nice models.

I got my 21st 262 U-1 today and the paint is great and nothing broke during assembly. Two questions- where are the two JATO pods and do we get any swastika decals?

notice how theres cardboard taped to the black plastic. tear them apart and the accessory bag should be there.

Ahhhh, grasshoppah!!!!! you are right, I did find the bag underneath-which contained all but the two rocket pods. I assumed that they were not taped elsewhere and were simply left out. I did not find any decals, either.

You know, its interesting, but most of the reports on the Nightfighter ME-262 that have come in indicate positive sentiments regarding the overall quality control issues. (Save the one with the rock, that is

) Mine is no exception, and indeed the "Yellow 7" ME-262A I purchased had much more wrong with it. Good going on the nightfighter, 21c
