Way nice ! they should make these in 1/32 scale
Realy like Me P.1101
The Ho 229 is available in 1/32 but it ain't cheap.

Thanks guys, I appreciate the comments.
I finished painting the Me P.1101 today.
Why the 'scribble' camouflage for the late war nightfighters? My guess is such a camouflage scheme would make it easier to hide the aircraft under tree branches or camouflage netting, pale or dark overall camouflage schemes took a little more effort to hide these aircraft from being detected from the air while mottle or scribble patterns tended to blend in better. The only way to stop the late war aircraft like the Me P.1101 was to get them on the ground, in the air they could simply out run any allied aircraft including the Meteor jet.

I think perhaps the spray bomb came into existence at that time and the boys were trying them out
Good work Matrix

Thank you Ed!
The Ju EF 128 is getting all the small breakable bits put on so I suppose that one will be getting finished first.
Speaking of breakable bits...the radar antenna for the Me P.1101 is being assembled with part of it being scratch built and they are really delicate, if I can finish the model and get my airfield pictures before breaking it I will be lucky.

I kind of wanted to finish these up by today but ran short of time so here are what these models look like right now.
Ho 229
Ju EF 128
Me P.1101
Were it not for the Me P.1101 these models would have been finished a day ago...sometimes kits like the Dragon Me P.1101 are a battle right down to the end but I have too much time invested in it to just throw it out. :idonno
The next few days the weather is supposed to be dry so the next time you will see these models they will be at the airfield.

After looking at Garry's angry insects I'm thinking some " dead bugs "
Looking forward to some good pictures

Those are looking great! That is a great and respectable start to the New Year. I'm looking forward to the airfield pics.
Thanks guys!
It might be a few more days before I can get out to the airfield and get those pictures, the wind is quite strong and from past experience it does not pay to get pictures of the finished models in these conditions because the backdrops act like sails and topple over sometimes falling right on top of the model.hmy:
I am 99% finished with these models and they will be finished in a few more hours.
