Dave_R Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 (edited) Hi All, My Shelf of Shame is actually a Coffee Table of Shame - and it's very full. So to get as many as possible from the Coffee Table of Shame to the Shelf of Honour I think doing them in pairs might help (ignoring the fact that I still have other GBs in progress). So here's the first duo (more to follow I hope). Revell's Me 262 - a very good kit, except for the canopy which is awful - it doesn't look right at all. But there is a vac-form replacement and that's what I'm going to use. ... and Cyber-Hobby's Meteor F.1. A very good kit but it needs some work on the the elevators - a bit of filling and scribing. So - I have to finish off two other builds first and then I can crack on with these. Dave. Edited November 4, 2017 by Dave_R 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave_R Posted December 7, 2017 Author Share Posted December 7, 2017 Hi All, Now the Radial Engine GB is finished I'm ready to get work on these. The mottling didn't work out quite as I had envisioned, but hey-ho. Next job will be priming the Meteor and putting the undercarriage on the 262.

CliffB Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 Good progress Dave. That's a lovely satin finish on the black primer. May I ask what paint you used please? I have a need (in the Starfighter STGB)! Thanks Cliff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May I ask what paint you used please? I have a need (in the Starfighter STGB)! Thanks Cliff Hi Cliff, The primer is Citadel Chaos Black. It's from Games Workshop, I only started using it since there are virtually no model shops in London anymore (except of course that one near the RAF Museum - but that's on the wrong side of London for me) and it was all I could get hold of. But it is very good, it almost seems a shame to have to paint over it. Dave. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave_R Posted December 15, 2017 Author Share Posted December 15, 2017 Hi All, The Meteor has caught up with Me 262. Ocean Grey. Masking. ...and Dark Green. Next - there is bit more painting to do, and then on with the decals. Dave. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave_R Posted December 28, 2017 Author Share Posted December 28, 2017 Hi All, Some progress. I've put on the main decals and undercarriage. I've got a load of stencils to put on next - . Dave. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave_R Posted February 1, 2018 Author Share Posted February 1, 2018 Hi All, It's been slow going but they're almost finished. I'll do a bit more work here and there and a bit of weathering -(if I've got time) and after erm... four years? in the making, I'll call it done.
