Here is my latest. It’s the 1/48 Me262A-1a from Tamiya. I did this as part of Franks Reich Defender II Group build, you will find alot of excellent work over there. I used Gunze Aqueous plus a few Tamiya paints, used future for the first time. Panel lines are a mix of pro-modeler dark dirt and I also used some Lifecolor Tensocrom oil, just with a small brush. The seat harness is from MDC and I made a bit of a hash painting them but they look ok although a little dark. I had a couple of problems with the clear parts but that was me being being a bit dim and it was a lesson learnt.
This aircraft was flown by Major Rudolf Sinner of JG7 in March 1944.
I did the gunbay but decided I liked it better done up.
All comments are welcome, hope you enjoy and thanks for looking.
I already knew this stripe paint scheme and despite it comes with one of the optional schemes for tamiya kit, I had never seen build it. I was thinking to build mine the typical red 13, but now watching yours, it inspired me to build the stripe one too.
Simply a gorgeous build Mike, love those stripes. I have to admit, seeing yours is really giving me the urge to build one of these striped birds too. Very well done!
Thanks everyone for your very kind comments. I’m glad you all like the striped scheme, I only found one other example of this aircraft on the web so thought it a bit different, plus it only had a little bit of mottle!
