JonOlsen88 Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 (edited) Hello everyone, This is my Me 262 by Academy. The markings and paint scheme represent "Black 4." This Me 262 served with JG7 and was found abandoned at an airfield in Prague. The decals are mostly from Cutting Edge. I used Tamiya paints, including AS 23(light green), AS 24 (dark green),and AS 5 (light blue). Based on my interpretation of the black and white photos and commentary I've read about "Black 4," I went for an overall RLM 83 upper-surface. For the replacement nose section,I tried to make it look like a very light shade of RLM 76. I sprayed multiple coats of Tamiya AS5 and TS 27 (Matt White) in an attempt to achieve this effect. Enjoy! Please let me know what you think. >Jon Edited June 13, 2015 by LSP_Kevin ClumsyDude and BGB 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClumsyDude Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 Jon, that looks terrific - the mottle is really convincing, hard to believe it's 1/72. Your images appear as a link to photobucket ... if you can copy-past the BBcode (it starts "[img ...") then it will appear in line with the post. Cheers Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_Kevin Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 Nice work, Jon! I've edited your links so that the images show in the post. Looks good! Kev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_K2 Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 Looks cool to me. I never grow tired of seeing 262's. What a fascinating aircraft that was/is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonOlsen88 Posted June 14, 2015 Author Share Posted June 14, 2015 Thanks guys for the interest and comments. Also, Kevin thanks for editing the pics! And Clumsy Dude, I'm glad you told me about the BB code. For the mottling, I used templates made by Airwaves. It would have been a lot harder for me to have done the mottling without the templates! Just for kicks, I've posted here an original photo of "Black 4." I am absolutely in love with the Me 262. >Jon BGB 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
