[MOC] Messerschmitt Me262 German jet fighter

[Brickopath]

Hi all,

This is a German jet fighter in WW2.

 

Features:

- 4 x 30mm cannon barrels visible on the nose

- National insignia made in bricks; no stickers used

- Canopy opens backwards

- Accepts a minifig pilot 

- Retractable landing gear

- Navigation lamps (red, green, white)

- Fuselage can be broken into 2 parts

- A transparent support is required when the gears are extended because the tail is heavier than the nose. In the real fighter the nose would be way heavier because of the cannons and the engines, but my model is all ABS plastic so the weight difference cannot be put into practice.
