    Very little time to dedicate to this 262 but have been, over the last 2-3 weeks, experimenting with the bare metal finish. I think I'm happy ish.

    Please may I enter this super looking group build with this, my first ever Me262? Started yesterday with a little bit of cockpit progress.

    The decals were a nightmare, 50% of them cracked after putting in water which added another 3/4 hour to the job. But we got there! Gallery updated

    Hi Dave, I've got the world's worst wooden ruler but here is a photo that might help

    With a week to go it should all come together. Had a nightmare with the devil's colour and had to undercoat with white first. Why I think putting yellow without an undercoat would work I don't know! To do: undercarriage, canopy, prop and decals. Two of the propeller blades were broken so it has been a bit of delicate task to glue them back on and align but I think it's there.

    Bit late to the Thunderbolt party so this will be a pretty quick build (only 5 steps on the instructions). This French Air Force Thunderbolt will join several others but I think it will be a different squadron; GC/II/3 4e Escadrille. Compared to the featherweight Macchi 202's I've just finished (should be some sun on Boxing Day for gallery photos) this plane is an absolute heavyweight - it's huge!

    Only 10 days to go but I've got the camouflage done at last. I saw another Folgore in the group build with the reverse Nocciola Chiaro (sand) over a Verde Oliva Scuro (green) base so opted to for two slightly contrasting green over sand which are rather attractive I thought. Yesterday attached the undercarriage and aerials so just rear wheels and final touch ups required and they should be looking favolosa by the weekend..!

    Right, need to get my skates on with a month to go. Sand base coats are on just need to focus on the green camo and the rest should be easy!

    Coming along although not without some shenanigans..! Even though I spent a little while lining up and gluing the Italeri prop spinner, a day later it looked ever so slightly out of kilter. Knife out, it had to come off. Back on now and much better (if a little battered). Some filler was required on some gaps, especially on the Frog. Several filters to attach, a little filing and then I think we're ready for first coats of SAND

    Frog on the left and bottom, Italeri on the right and top. I'm sure I'll regret attaching and painting the props (fatter on the Italeri) at this early stage. One is bound to get pinged off..! The Italeri is more refined with quite subtle surface markings contrasting to the almost absence of any on the Frog. Got a few days off work now so should get some wings on in the next couple of days.
