Thanks again everyone [:D]
The underside is RLM 65 Hellblau. The camo was made with RLM 02 Grau as the light gray base coat and RLM 70 Schwarzgrun for the dark gray.
For a short time I had thought about using Sandgelb instead of the RLM 02 since a lot of Africa aircraft used that color. That with the dark gray stripes would look really cool to but I decided to stay with the two shades of gray. Some day I may do another Me with the Sandgelf and dark gray tiger stripes. Those two 262’s sitting beside each other would look pretty interesting.
Good modeling,

[tup] Nice build and paint job Wayne. “What-ifs” are fun.
Cheers,

looks really cool from my house Wayne!![tup]
Nice job…I sometimes change numbers,nose art etc. to make a one of a kind. I have some what-if’s. Why have the same old aircraft everyone else is building?
Dittos - nice job!!!

I love it !!! Sometimes its great to break away from the rules and let artistic lience take over. We’re artists aswell as modelers !

Since everyone is gushing about this, I thought I’d be different and say something more critical … but I can’t. It really is that cool!
That’s a very nice build, Wayne. Is it just me, or does it look like it’s smiling at me in the last pic?[8)]
Damm fine job man, good use of the ol’ imagination.
=)
wow thats a nice looking 262 i wish my LHS would hurry up and get a few of them in! exelent work on the paint scheme and id have to agree with GABO72 it does look like a tiger!!!
The plane looks awesome,and the camo looks equally awesome.Great work.
Looks very well done Wayne. I really like your custom decal, it adds a lot to your “what if” build.
Great work.
Well done-now do one that would have been based in the USA.
PS-What software do you use for the homemade decals-and is it Mac compatable?
Dan
that looks great
