Has any one got the Me 262 1/48 tank buster version the one with the canon in the nose and I also would like to buy the bomber version the one with the glass nose cone. Thanks Paul

That's actually not a "tank buster" but a bomber destroyer - essentially a '262 with a small flak cannon in the nose.
Just so you know. :)
Did it ever really fly?
I thought I read that it was a last ditch by the Luftwaffe to try and stem the near constant bombing and free run that the American Air Force enjoyed at the end of the war.
I am not a pilot or aeronautical engineer but, I would think that what looks like a small anti-tank gun sticking out of the nose would affect the flight characteristics of the plane. Not to mention aiming and recoil in flight.
There is a canon-nosed 262 on eBay right now.
Hello paul, Contact me at snipped-for-privacy@shaw.ca if you want one, I have the Trimaster (later DML) 1/48 Hi-tech kit.
Uncle rick
