mitchem Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 For a minute, I thought I'd never finish anything else ever again ! The new Airfix Me 262 finished out of the box with Eduard seatbelts and the Swastikas off a spare sheet. Regards mike 54 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FatFlyHalf Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 Really good. I'm envious. If only the Scarlets could always get a finish like that! Not that they're doing too bad at the moment.......... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darby Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 You got further than I did. How did you get those checkers to behave? That was the point of my no return. Nice job on the build. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CurrantBunbury Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 Great work on the camouflage. The thought of trying to reproduce that mottling frightens the life out of me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevehnz Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 (edited) As nice a Me 262 as I've seen I reckon, in just about any scale. Superb painting., the photos aren't bad either. Steve. Edited November 4, 2017 by stevehnz 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes mate thats the boxtop option. Cracking build! As others have said the tail mottles are gorgeous. However to me the pics seem very matt and/or a bit grainy like the lens of the camera wasn’t clean though? Doesn’t detract too much though.

As luck would have it, Tony Oliver did an outstanding job on the other decal option which can be found here : 19 hours ago, FatFlyHalf said: Really good. I'm envious.

Scarlets doing okay but it depends on which competition you're talking about - Pro 14 () or European Cup () 19 hours ago, Darby said: You got further than I did. How did you get those checkers to behave? That was the point of my no return. Nice job on the build. Let's just say they didn't behave.... There was a bit of cracking near the tail fillet on both sides so I had to touch up with paint. (Still pinching myself at managing to mix up the right shade of blue ! ) 15 hours ago, CurrantBunbury said: Great work on the camouflage. The thought of trying to reproduce that mottling frightens the life out of me. Go on and have a bash. This was actually the first time that I applied mottling with an airbrush. What you don't see are all of the experiments I did on a flat sheet of paper and the trouble I had translating the technique onto a three dimensional surface. 14 hours ago, Tony Oliver said: Yes mate thats the boxtop option.

I just wished I'd seen your WIP before I started mine but I was desperate to actually finish something after staring at the modelling bone-yard on our dining-room table for weeks. As for the quality of the pics, I've been using a Video camera for taking still pictures, and I suspect that zooming in too closely doesn't do much for picture quality.
