Tamiya Me-262 A1

First part of painting completed. Tomorrow blending and mottling, probably panel tonal changes Sunday. Rear area versus upper area lighting/shadowing is something I'm really starting to implement more.

Decided to add some break lines with lead wire and painted on most of the big decals, Tamiyas usually so thick.

Didnt have much luck with oils, im ok at best with them anyways, so i reglossed and just airbrushed fading, grime and tonal differences. Start on chipping tomorrow! Thanks to everybody for the kind words on the build, and always, constructive criticism is ALWAYS welcome!

Flatcote and decals complete (stupid thick tamiya decals) some weathering complete. Last weathering and tidbits added to go.

All finished, a little more weathered than I was planning, but this 262 definitely saw service with the famous JV44, so it is what it is.

Completed cockpit, hate using Tamiya decals, way too thick. I grab pics from Pinterest and paint from there.

Wow! Nice detail work! I used their decals on a bf109 and almost took them off for the same reason.
