Uncarina Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 Matt, I forgot to ask: did you have any Gunze or Alclad pull up when you removed the mask? Cheers, Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skiner Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 Wowww you're effect on the wing is so stunning........ I like it sure! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoogsATX Posted January 27, 2014 Author Share Posted January 27, 2014 The main scheme is now a wrap. Lightly sprayed RLM 82 on the tail, with RLM 81 on the rudder. The engine pods are the usual RLM 76 and RLM 81. Next, it's on to markings and then weathering. Thinking I might be able to have this wrapped in time for ModelFiesta on February 15th...

sluggo Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 Fabulous work. Hoping you succeed in your timeline. I'd sure like to see it in person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loic Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 At the risk of being borring... I was looking very closely to your work (which I like a lot) and just seen that we can still see the riveting and line panels through the putty work. I had in mind that this putty was ment to fill those rivets and lines in order to flush the surface... hence we do not see the rivets and panel lines anymore where the putty is applied. Am I correct in my understanding or does the putty serve an other purpose? This said, the technic and results are amazing ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought about removing them, but 1) that would have made masking nightmarish and 2) I'm lazy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loic Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 Fair enough ! It looks fabulous anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smokey Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 That is looking very sharp and can't wait to see it sitting on the grass mat. The NMF should stand out. You don't see very many modeler's tackle doing a Me-262's done in this late war finish. You did a outstanding job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sluggo Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 I took several pics of W.Nr. 110369 at Pensacola. Panel edges and rivets were evident under the tape and filler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
