I have startet the build of a 262 Version in Richthofen Design .  For that i have slaughtered the 1:72 Revell Me 262 .

I've made a lot of parts for the wings; in total, I used four Me 262 kits for the triplane. The glue joints need to cure completely before I can continue.

I built a suitable jig out of cardboard to ensure the correct alignment of all the wings and engines.

I made the fuselage narrower, which automatically corrected the dihedral angle of the wings, but that didn't seem right for a triplane in my view...

The Position of the rear gunner 😃.

First pair of wings are the lower ones,  placing the 6 wings correct is a little bit difficult, i hope to get them right in Position step by step .

Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

Interesting concept.

For me the take away was the clever jig to set the wings and keep the Tail vertical  :thumbsup:

Sorry to confuse. I meant that the simple vertical box you made to hold the tail is simple and clever. I might use that idea.

As you may have recognized, my english is poor 🫣, thank you for your help.

I have cutted the wings again to get them into correct position, the outer parts in a straight line.

You can see a perfect welded connection, very strong and no putty is needed.

That can not seen after placing the middle wing.

Your English is a LOT better than many of us could manage in German, Herr Killnoizer! Have no fear there, you're doing great, or, far as my limited German goes, you're English is 'ausgezeichnet'.  ;D
