Revell. 1/32 Me262 A1

August 12, 2022While the parts are drying after the soapy wash I take care of the box too make it usable.2
August 12, 2022Revell keeps on making this side opening box style because it is cheaper and environmental better because it saves on paper.....3
August 12, 2022So I just unglue it4
August 12, 2022And join the sides with staples5
August 12, 2022Here they are6
August 12, 20227
August 12, 2022So easy. This way the box became usable and the planet will live a few seconds more... ?8
August 12, 2022Meanwhile parts are dried. It's August and I should be at the beach it's only a mile away.9
August 14, 2022Until now I've been cleaning parts and building as much as possible without the need for painting.10

August 14, 2022I could clean a few more parts but I am getting bored so let's start painting.16
August 16, 2022For me there is a limit for cleaning and cutting parts . That`s why my models take too long to be finished. Some modeler`s can paint all the parts of the same collor at once. I can`t. I need to make a break from time to time and make other things.17
August 16, 2022Anyway this time I`ve painted a few parts of «green». Gun barrels have been hollowed and painted......waisted time....nothing will be seen.18
August 16, 202219
August 16, 2022....And gray...20

August 20, 2022Has I told before this kit was a bargain. Why ?23
August 20, 2022Ups24
August 20, 2022Another ups....25
August 20, 2022This is also a challenge to join...26
August 20, 2022Has I told before due to the poor quality of the kit I decided to make it with all access doors and hatches closed and to not waist time on interiors. Anyway I hollowed and painted the gun barrels wich took me some time and at the end nothing will be seen. Also details on the body are almost invisible and must be rescribed.27
September 9, 202228
September 9, 2022Well I open the hole here in case someone needs to start the engine.....29
September 9, 202230
September 9, 202231
September 9, 2022I wonder how am I going to rescribe this.....there was a one and a half mm gap between wing and fuselaje on this side. Also the wing fairing on the fuselaje was a lot higher.32
September 9, 202233
September 9, 202234
September 9, 2022....not finnished yet.......35
September 9, 202236
September 9, 2022who cares about the interior if the exterior stinks ? The fit of the engine nacells its not so bad but it is anyway. Few more days of worki37
September 9, 202238
September 20, 2022This picture is to help our mate Ninetails to decide which Me262 to buy. Thi is the left side wing join all leveled from the front to the rear. If you look the original you have steps at the rear and front.39
September 20, 2022Right side not finnished yet.40
September 20, 2022The gun bay doors after a lot of work.....41
September 20, 2022the other side42
September 20, 2022Rear botom join of the wing.You will get a nice heavy step in here also.43
September 20, 2022The details in engine nacelles are invisible but the parts fit so badly that large steps will have to be eliminated. So, every details have to be rescribed again.44

October 12, 202261
October 12, 2022This is the way I choose to mask the tail. It was tedious and its hard to make round edges.62
October 12, 202263
October 12, 2022Left side.....64
October 12, 2022Right side with masks ready for painting65
October 12, 2022Once again I`m using the montex stencil`s. Not easy but if it goes well the final result its a million times better than decals. Anyway don't forget: never use montex masks over laquer paint.66
October 12, 2022white first67
