Small Scale Military Headquarters

Ok one more time there is the possibility of a removable panel on 21st century Me-262 A and night fighter, if you have one take a look on the right side where the radio compartment is located

Now we get to the 21st ME-262 mystery
On the right side or port side of the me-262 where the radio access panel is, there is a panel that looks like it’s removable…….but wait on min….I looked down the fuselage and seen four plastic pins, on four corners of the panel attached to the main fuselage, now I did not see anything inside but I als found that when you push gently there is some give.

I don’t think 21st would have made a mold like that with out planning to put something inside of it.

I did once find a funny little "surprise" inside my 21c ME-262A. When assembling it, I noticed something behind the rear wall of the main landing gear compartment in a space normally inacessable when the plane is fully put together. I then found that I was able to pull the upper part of the fuselage off and it revealed the rear compartment for the ME-262B It was complete with the radar operator's seat and some of the control switches, which were painted the interior gray color, but otherwise not detailed. 21c did use the same fuselage mould with slight modifications for both planes, after all I removed the seat as it could have some custom potential, and reattached the upper fuselage part.

Maybe 21st was planning on adding more details to the ME-262, but decided not to?

Or, maybe they just up tooled a Trumpeter Mold a la the forthcomming bbi F-104 in 32nd scale?
