You are right Joe I certainly forgot how old these "new" kits from tamiya actually are. As a side note I just found some old pictures of the A3 version I built way back in 2007!   |

You and me both Boots . I thought, Good Lord, Petes finished already! No flat tyre on that one. Looks great Pete. I got my finger out today and got on with it. As you can see, I've made a bit of progress.  I don't think that fooled anyone.  |

Damn, foiled again. You noticed this was the version with four cannons.
Nice progress Paul. I see you sorted out the cowling. I think Pete will be hot on our heels soon.

Joe yes  . Not only the cowling needed help, the wing roots also and I had to remove a tad from the carburetor too . To help with cleaning the wing roots I chopped the 20 mills off also. But that ain't a problem, I have some fitting syringe needles in the stash for replacements |

Nice one Paul, just primed mine this evening so nothing doing tomorrow as I plan on relaxing with several beers in front of the fire most of the evening. Joe you are just making me want to build a 262 now!

Paul, glad you sorted out the cowl and the wing roots. Good idea about the syringe needles. What a good idea, cant believe I never thought of that! I could have got loads before I retired! 🙄 Looks like you've already got a 262 in your stash ready and waiting. 😁 Pete, enjoy your beers. It's not bad for a 18 year old kit. Looks like your mucker already has one. Not as much progress as I had hoped for. The instrument panel is in place with a few blobs of paint on the side consoles. The seat is ready for the harness, which I hope to get done soon. I'm going to mask the tyre instead of the hubs. I think this should give me a better edge from the masking tape.

Nice one Joe , good luck with the tyre masking.....never done it that way before.....always used one of the circular template jobbies |

Nice office colouring Joe . I'll watch how your idea about masking the tyre works, I'll probably go the other way about them though |

Nice one Joe looking very nice indeed. Paul, yeap that's me now having to get one I think! Here's the obligatory primer shot. I'm running short of pure grey so mixed some white in to make it go further! Painting possibly boxing day once I work out the RLM codes and tamiya paint mixes!   |
