Bob Jackson from Perrysburg, Ohio built this 1/32 Revell Me.262A-1. His comments are below

My rendition of Me 262 white 4. Revell, 1/32 scale A-1 jet fighter. Complete after market cockpit, completely wired gun bay, wired front jet engine exposed when cover removed, masked, painted and weathered as authentic as possible from research

We are ASKING customers to send us your model pictures to be posted on our HOMEPAGE, or post the pictures on Kitlinx Facebook Build-Page where we could capture them! 

$10 store credit will be issued when your picture is posted on the Kitlinx Homepage

Rules:

  • Picture will be 1000x250 pixels - Kitlinx will format it for you

  • As this picture is ELONGATED, make sure most of your model is mostly on the right side (a gradient will be applied to the left)

  • PLEASE add a ONE COLOR BACKGROUND to the model. It's easier to manipulate in Photoshop to meet Kitlinx guidelines

  • HINT: close-up of details is BEST! We want to see your work! Be proud of your model, whatever your skills

  • Your Name/City/State will be posted to give credit-to-whom-it-belongs

  • You should tell us the Manufacturer/scale of the subject - an any pertinent information related to the displayed model.

  • By sending us the picture, you give authorization to Kitlinx to post that picture publicly

  • Kitlinx reserves the right to post the picture(s) when it is needed.

Your Feedback:

This was my first Kitlinx order. I am an overseas customer. Everything worked fine:

 

Shop system, basket, online payment without hassle.

The low costs for overseas shipping were the final reason to choose Kitlinx for the buy.

You replenished items not in stock within a few days.

Tracking worked fine from US through customs and into our national mail system.

Items were well packed. To be honest: I had to resort to one of the larger knives to cut the box open. Really good carton!

Everything arrived in mint condition.

 

You did an outstanding job! Thank you very much!

KItlinx is amazing! I have been able to purchase decals sold out or very difficult to acquire through them. The decal selection is great and has allowed me to add additional kits to my collection I can now complete with many decal options. Thank you for being my go-to for hard to find decals

Search Tips:

[Kitlinx is still working on its LEFT COLUMN searches. This work will be completed as soon as "Kitlinx-on-the-clouds" is working smoothly]

Let me add some "tricks" to the POWERFUL search engine of Kitlinx (the SEARCH BOX at the TOP of the website). Below are the KEYS to search ~ 80,000 available products (63% in US, 37% in Europe)

1. Use the top box search on Homepage

2. Use several keywords separated by spaces to zero-in your search "1/48 spitfire aircraft_model" (59 kits)

3. Use the underscore "_", like armor_models or Tamiya_ or aircraft_accessor "1/48 spitfire aircraft_access" (456 accessories)

4. Use keyword "instock" to JUST search for in-stock items  

5. If you are searching for SALE items, use the keyword "~special~"

6. Don't forget the Manufacturer's link on TOP of each Product-Page. It quickly shows ALL available product from the same manufacturer

7. DO NOT use the asterisk "*"
