Great work, Paul, on the mottling. I noticed your bottle of XF1 black has OPEN written on it.
Do you have so many bottles of black that you need to distinguish between open and not?

Well done Paul. Really coming along fast now. Don't give me to much credit. I tried using a stencil, but made a pigs ear out of it. The set I have is for a Me109 fuselage. I used it on the 262 I posted on this build and it was ok. But it was the wings I couldn't get right on this build. Yours looks very good. Marco, Join The Dark Side.

As my old Grandmother would say, All over bar the shouting. I've stuck the last few bits and pieces in place, and I'm virtually finished. I'll take some photos later today or tomorrow and post them. Thanks for your encouragement along the way chaps.

Joe, that is an amazing looking Me-262. As usual, flawless construction topped off with a great finish and decals.

Not much today, just sprayed the red fuselage band, and touched the affected under gear bays . By the way, I used Revell Aqua Ferrari Red over a black background I might even spray the the Red 19 too... I shall see if I can make a mask for the figures shortly

Beautiful, Paul. How much distance did you have between the PE mottle mask and the model when you did the splotches? You really nailed the spots.

Thank you Ian, Paul, Boots, and, Pete.. Paul, very nice. I like the tail band, great colour. It will look even better with the stickers in place.

Ian, Joe, thank you both kindly chaps . Ian, I had roughly 1-2mm space between the fuselage and mask. It wasn't easy holding it steady with one hand and spraying with the other, but it kinda worked .
