I was wondering if you going to add the Krad. This will look most excellent indeed

Cheers guys, Steve, I'm not sure i have the room for a dio at the moment! Right stickers now on after a good gloss coat and very nice they all look too.

That's one brilliant looking scheme, the decals really set it off nicely.

This unusual camo was a great choice and with the decals in place this Me262 will be an eyecatcher.

Yet again it's all gone wrong!!! I'd got a oil wash on for the panel lines and a matt coat so today started to remove the masking for the canopy parts. All going well until the front section was unmasked and I say this frikin horror! Think it may have happened when the model dropped off the stand the other day. Also some fogging is evident on the inside. Not sure how I'm going to get over this, perhaps I need to step away from the bench for a bit!!

Bad luck mate, can you not make a small tarp or similar out of magicsculpt to cover the damage (maybe like a flying jacket or something?)

Damn, that isn't good. Pauls solution sounds a good one though.

Sorry to hear that, Pete. I did see that Hannants has the Falcon ME-262 vacu-form replacement canopy set available.

Oh nasty, personally I’d consider just buying another kit if it’s relatively each to swap the parts.

F..k how much bad luck are you having my friend??? Can't you carefully remove the middle section and scratch that part ? Wish I could help.😥

Cheers guys, it got even better!! Decided to clean the airbrush and have a good think and blow me if that went tits up! Turned out I had a split nozzle so that's another £20 to shell out. Anyway after a good long think and seeing paul's suggestion I decided to see how a tarp or cloth would look. Using some tissue and diluted white glue I placed this over the broken area after first fixing the broken section back in place. Once dry which took no time at all I painted it a contrasting colour which seems to work well. With the maintenance figure in place and with the kettenkrad I think I've saved the build and my sanity! Oh and she's on her wheels as well.

Perfect save and a very realistic way to cover it! Let's get this masterpiece to the finish line.
