2. I did
not buy the full kit. Instead I
bought a cast-off from a Tamiya Me-262 sold on EBay.

3. By March 2005 the major sub-assemblies
have been put together and painted. This involved airbrushing first a
black undercoat then the camouflage colour. Next the shadows and
staining were added with chalk dust.
|
4. The tracks involved a lot of detail
hand-painting.

5.
After the chalk dust weathering is
applied on the matt base then a coat of gloss is airbrushed on top. This
seals in the chalk and provides a better base for an acrylic brown wash
that goes over top. The wash runs into cracks and highlights detail. |
6. The acrylic wash would not run into the
details if we used a matt base coat. Instead it would have just soaked
into the matt coat. |
7. After the acrylic wash then the final
assembly is performed and dry-brushing is performed. |
8. The finished model is a little gem and
seen here photographed with the Bf109 E4 featured elsewhere on this web
site. |
