Nice save on the paint job Christian! :good Matrixone

Bf 109G-2 Trop - Main paint done Fine airbrush work Ian! Looking forward to seeing it 'come to life' after the pin wash treatment. Matrixone

Paul, You don't need anything fancy at all for taking pictures of your models outdoors, below is a sample image of an in-progress model that was taken outdoors with the model set on a large sheet of drawing paper with no backdrop. This picture was taken in the shade on a partly sunny day...

Paul, For the speed you built this model in it this has to be one of your best yet. Terrific work. :thumbsup More pictures of your Spitfire are needed, maybe get one or two outdoors? Matrixone

Bf 109G-2 Trop - Paint has occurred Terrific paint job Ian! :thumbsup Matrixone

My 1/72 Regia Aeronautica: Fiat CR.42 Completed The model turned out really well and looks great in the diorama too. :good Matrixone

That's some great looking weathering effects! :thumbsup Matrixone

I found using Future cut with 1/4 amount of Windex glass cleaner gives the smoothest gloss coat. After years of seeing in-progress pictures on other modeling sites I noticed on some models how pebbly looking the surfaces were after they were sprayed with Future and I was curious if my models...

The Bf 109K-4 and Panther are not quite finished yet but I could not resist getting started on the Me 262's. :drool The very start of the cockpits were airbrushing gloss black on all areas to be painted RLM 66 and when that was done RLM 66 was airbrushed on leaving all the places that would...

Thanks guys! It was too dark and wet to get my pictures on Monday, today was much better. Here are the Hinomaru's after they were toned down. The white surround on the Hinomaru's will get some light paint chipping to complete the aged effect on the markings. Matrixone

Thank you Luiz and Mike. No pictures today but I did make some useful progress on this model, I had been thinking about how to go about toning down the Hinomaru markings so they won't be such a bright red and better match the weathered upper surfaces. For a while I was thinking about dry...

Nice detail on the engine Paul! :good Matrixone

The Me 262 is a good looking aircraft no matter which country operates it. I have seen photographs in some of my books of one in Russian markings in case anyone is wanting something completely different on their model. Matrixone

Thanks guys! It might be a while before I will get to the KT but it should be a better build than the old Panther was. :) Matrixone

The Panther is 99% done, no more in-progress pictures of this model. Just a couple things to be touched up with a paint brush and the flat clear coat are all that's left to do on it. The flat clear coat will have to wait for the Bf 109K-4 to reach the same stage of construction so I can spray...

I am looking forward to seeing how you put this one together. :salute Matrixone

Very sharp looking tank! :thumbsup Now that you have this armor build out of the way you can build some wing things. :laugh: Matrixone

Some progress on the Dinah trainer... All the decals have been put on and I popped off the clear parts and removed the masking tape and hand painted the canopy frames being careful to also include some chipped paint on them. After the decals fully tighten down on the models surface I...

Anybody wanting to build their Me 262 models are welcome to join in here, I would rather this remain a BB than a full blown campaign...no pressure with time stamps or completion dates this way. Paul, I have built a Tamiya Me 262 before and its one of their best kits IMHO, they even include nose...

I don't consider any hijacking of the thread going on here if it will get others to join in and build their Me 262's, its too interesting of an aircraft NOT to build. :oldguy A color photograph of a Me 262 I found on the net...its poor quality but interesting just the same. Matrixone
