In last weeks post I made the comment about not finishing a single project of my own. I have finished plenty of tutorial types which is all good, some of the results were great. It is now time for me to complete one of my own. I started model for my favorite World War II fighter, the Messerschmitt Me262. I purchased the blue prints for my references and all so it is high time I started serious work on this model and finish it.

It terms of the references I located them at http://the-blueprints.com/. I purchased a set of .dxf, .pdf, and .png all of which looked great until I started moving the images around and creating the top, side and front views. I found things did not line up quite right. This time I have done a little more research starting with the eBooks ‘Virtual Airplane’ by Witold Jaworski. and how he went about locating, creating and modifying his references.

After realigning and scaling the reference images I obtained, here is what I have.
