Hello everybody!
I've been reading this forum for about 3 months, but this is my first post.
Anyway, I've never been a big fan of Nowotny's 262 and this aircraft just screams to be tweaked! It's not finished yet (landing gear repaint - antenae, etc etc) This is a KG51 me-262. The Edelwiess decals and others are homemade inkjet jobbers and the "H" and crosses are stenciled. I'll post some more pics and some other customs when I get the chance. (sorry the pics aren't that great - I'll take some better shots of the modified cockpit rim and post them later)
Zack

Thanks for the compliments!
Here's some better pics including the modified/corrected cockpit.
Normally I build 1/24 scale autos - but I have found myself getting increasingly "distracted" by the 1/18 aircraft!

Excellent work

At or 21c need to replicate that striking scheme - perhaps they should consult your work
