alaninaustria Posted April 5, 2007 Author Share Posted April 5, 2007 and moving along again... here is the Werknummer: 130017...... these Montex masks are really great.... I can't imagine decals anymore... infact I haven't used any for the last 5 builds.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alaninaustria Posted April 5, 2007 Author Share Posted April 5, 2007 and a little more.... the weathering and smaller details such as the landing gear etc will come later.... and the Hobby Decal dry transfers will be coming soon too!! I will also have to attach the air scoops on the nacelle tops.... I sanded them off because the shape was a bit off... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alaninaustria Posted April 5, 2007 Author Share Posted April 5, 2007 and a little more... a little over spray made it's way into the wheel bays... so I will have to reapply some more Aluminum. I have had a go at trying to keep the painting rather light.... and some of the rivet details on the fwd nacelles are gone... but I would appreciate hearing your opinions... positive or negative on the overall job.... Cheers Alan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCote Posted April 6, 2007 Share Posted April 6, 2007 Hi Alan, Is it my imagination or did you start by posting a pic of that beautiful Dieppe Spitfire of yours before realising it wasn't the Stormbird? Whatever, it was a treat to see it again. This one is shaping up well too (though I have to confess I'm not much of a Luftwaffe fan), and those Montex masks look like they're just the ticket. Best, Jean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SeanH Posted April 6, 2007 Share Posted April 6, 2007 Hi Alan 262 looks great. I really like the way the Montex masks worked for you. I am going to have to get me some of those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattlow Posted April 6, 2007 Share Posted April 6, 2007 Alan She looks very nice indeed. It is nice to see the grey scheme for a change. When you take some pics of the finished article, can you do it under natural light - so we can really see the greys to full effect. Not a criticism, just will be able to see her in the best light.

alaninaustria Posted April 13, 2007 Author Share Posted April 13, 2007 Hi guys.... just a quick update today! I have had a little progress on this bird.... steady as she goes! Cheers Alan In the natural light you can see the effect that the RLM grey scheme had.... very effective I think! I really can't wait for the new Trumpeter two seater.... I will be doing a two seater radar equiped night fighter!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alaninaustria Posted April 13, 2007 Author Share Posted April 13, 2007 A little more... I used the Hobby Decal dry transfers for the Me 262.... they are great... infact excellent... I have completely switched to the dry transfer system from decals... a little chipping on the port side.. that is where most of the 'foot traffic' was anyhow... as the Me 262's were usually taped and puttied on the seams... I have decided not to do so much with the panel lines and the rivets etc... just leave them as they are.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Pratt Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 Alan the 262 is coming along great.What did you use for the aluminum wheel well?...and would you mind explaining a bit about what you did to get the landing gear polished up like that?Excellent work my friend...cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
