Lower surface RLM76 paited in a mix of Revell aquacolor, I used the recomended mix in the instructions of Me 262 1/72 from Revel for it but later I found out that they have the color just right for the job, the 49 Hellblau
... what is the point of having one hobbie if you are not having fun? so I went to my Tamiya colors and pointed out 2 colors that looked nice to me and I taped one hard edge cammo over the model (I realy hate masking...)
After unmasking (I love unmasking as much as I hate masking) that´s how it looks like the model after the painting and one light clear coat, the preshading almost desapeared in the darker color (Tamiya XF-51) and a coat of XF-22
Ready for decals, I have being putting this model away for a long time, I want to finish it for good! there are more models in my stash waiting to be putted together 😉
Decals on, and... they are horrible! too glossy, little bit out of register, they do not respond well to my decal softner (revell decal soft), the number in both sides of the fuselage are in the same side to the cross, when they should be always behind.
one academy "not-so-quick" build ...., it was inexpensive but have shape problems, no cockpit details and bad decals with wrong and also not-so-clear instructions to place them, I putted it aside for long enough, now is time to finish this building for good!
