Joel_W Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 Janne, I finally remembered what your Me 262 build reminds me of in terms of getting a contest model completed: Your F-111 build. And as I recall, you did rather well with it. Joel Quote Link to post Share on other sites

From the little I know about Me262s, they really took a beating out in the field. Restores aircraft look brand new. So the decision is really up to you as to the type of aircraft you want to display. Joel You know me....I like them grimey and dirty 😜 Edited August 21, 2018 by Aigore Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Joel LOL, yeah it has scored in every contest I've put it in 😄 start date July 18th and final update September 2nd...the 262 is a much faster and simpler build though straight OOB. 🙂 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Joel_W Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 Janne, Whether it's a simpler but, all that matters is what's on the table. And so far, you've got yourself another winner. Joel Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Aigore Posted August 22, 2018 Author Share Posted August 22, 2018 OK, close to finished now... Some weathering to be done first. I begun with a thin grey panel wash. Wiped it off...distinct yet not overpowering panellines, thaty´s what I like with grey panelwashes 😄 Streaking and dirt came in several small washes with what I could find in my weathering box 😛 Next it was time for pigments.... There, added landing gears and doors... And then a flat coat... Almost done now, removed the canopy masks only things left now are the antennaes I´ll do a small update with it finished and then it´s off to shoot pics for the display case 😄 Cheers!

They behaved, got some silvering but I poked with an old air brush needle and added microsol and that seemed to take care if it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
