Im torn about the ME262.. I don't like the fact that i can't remove the pilot. Anyway to cover it up, maybe put some "netting" on the cockpit? Thanks
If you are careful and skillfull, you may be able to lift/pry the canopy off and gain access to the pilot. It can probably be removed with some effort. Try contacting KC before hand and ask about the pilot and how he is inserted/anchored. Maybe they can give you some advice. -- AlIm torn about the ME262..

I tend to agree with leaving it as is. Way too much money to mess around with. -- AlYou could even buy a 1/32 scale open canopy to swap over but I would not like to muck about with a $245.00 plane case it went wrong
How about a tarp over the canopy? The Germans must have used them to protect the glass like we did. A tarp would hide everything inside the cockpit. -- AlNo way... Im not gonna buy a kit, if i were good at kits, I wouldn't be buyin products that are already assembled and painted.. Im not even gonna attempt to open the canopy. What about the Camo Netting idea?
You can make a tarp out of almost any material, a fine cloth cut to the correct size and painted the right color, for instance. Camo nets should be available from any of the scenery makers that Treefrog carries. -- AlTarp - that might work, where can i get one the proper size? Thanks.. Also i have seen some of netting placed over the planes, where can i get those? ME262 would look great in a late war forest scene in Bavaria! Thanks

Not a bad idea, but sure to add to the overall price, with a seperate pilot. Probably an option that most people would like, though. -- AlThe question raised is a very good question and something that K&C should take into account for future releases of airplanes . Provide the pilot separately and leave the canopy open with the possibility to make a closed canopy version. The collector can then choose whether or not he puts the pilot inside the plane and leave the canopy open or closed.
