This is a very simple, yet
highly detailed resin nose and gun bay set for the very well done Revell Me 262.
All panel lines are recessed and well represented just
like on the kit nose, except there is one panel line missing from the
underside. The missing panel line is the one running between the shell
ejection chutes.
The hinged covers for the gun bay are well done and even
include the bulge on the outside and the ribbing on the inside, but here again
these covers are missing a panel line running down the middle of each
cover. The nose landing gear compartment is more accurate than the kit
part...the CMK resin nose comes with extra detail in here. The resin nose
does have a bit of weight to it, but it still feels like a
bit of nose weight would be needed to keep the nose wheel on the ground, but I'm
not 100% sure of this. Nose weight could be added between the resin nose
and the cockpit.
This is a
very nice little nose and gun bay set and would be an impressive feature to add to the
Revell kit. In conclusion I am VERY impressed with the level of detail in this
resin set and I doubt the missing panel lines would ever be noticed.
