Messerschmitt Me 262

The canopy on this kit was awful. It didn't fit and was cracked when I opened the box. But since I didn't have any other ideas I used it anyway.

Amazing paintjob

Thank you. For 1:72 it came out pretty good.

Pretty good? Wish I could do such a nice mottling. Nice build, despite the canopy issue.

I used a 0.2 needle to do the mottling. I think if I had a 0.15 I could have had more control. A new airbrush is on my wishlist.

Yeah Revell's canopy for this kit just sucks. Also since this is an older model I imagine I could do a better job now.

Very nice paint work!

At some point I have to replace the canopy, and antenna wires on this model, then make some proper photos.

And me naive thought there will be no rigging 🙁
Canopy is as it is, but I would be very happy having such a mottling on my Schwalbe, let's see.

Good luck Trez. The canopy on this kit is also a pain. Best to sand it into shape before you get to far into the build. Or vacuform a new one.

Love the camo, how did you blend the green and brown on the little green spots under the canopy?

I just layered the paint with my Iwata airbrush with a .02 needle, making sure to take the cap off the front for a cleaner spray. Sadly that airbrush broke this month.

Oo thats interesting. May your airbrush rest in paint, it will be missed
