Thanks for your comments Guys.

Sundays painting of the second upper surface colour RLM 81, again this colour took a little over an hour of careful airbrushing.

Currently spending lunch breaks at work doing the panel lines, and will probably need a few little touch ups here and there next weekend before the gloss coat goes on.

Wayne: That 262 looks great. What kind of airbrush do you have ?

Hey Charles, I use an Aztec 430 Dual action.
Iwas thinking about your little accident, today.... when I put my 262 down on a carton as I was leaving work a gust of wind blew the model box off the carton, ****! as it landed on the concrete floor.... no damage thankfully.
I will need to do a light touch up on the lower surface blue grey on the weekend , but so far I'm happy with the progress.

That's fantastic!

Here is my latest model. I finished it finally this evening. An out of the box P-39 in 1/48 scale. It's my first P-39, and it's called "Hells Bells," with a punching chicken slogan. Of course the blury look hides the defects. Except that it wasn't weighted right!!!

It's sister P-40 is still in the making.

The first three photos are mine, but the fourth is of a more experienced modeler's "Hells Bells." I have to thank him, for his plane gave me some tips, especially in painting.

Soundbreaker Welch? · 09-20-2007, 05:23 PM

Yup, old Monogram. I trying to do all the five main USAA fighters, and picked monogram. Tamiya, whoow, you gotta be real careful with those. But I hope to do a Blue Nose P-51 sometime.

Screaming Eagle · 09-21-2007, 05:38 AM

Thanks, Wayne..... I'm considering getting back into model airplane building.
I'd like to try a R/C plane (w/o retracts) like a Ryan ST or the STM. I'm
going to look this week-end. Will look for a air-brush while I'm at it.

Nice Models Heinz and Wurger!!

Bit more progress on the Me262

Tip of the nose has been masked and painted yellow, panel lines have been done, most prominent on the lower surfaces and some added detail to the nose area in a before and after shot.

Hoping to do the gloss coat tomorrow night and should start the decals Wednesday want to have them done by the weekend.
