I'll join the band of those who had no idea this existed. Looks like you're well on the way to a very unusual model.

[flyjoe180]

It's proceeded quite quickly Jim, a relatively simple build except for the resin and white metal parts.

Excellent paintwork.

Thank you Paul

Apologies for calling you Colin, Steve! Senior citizen moment.

I wasn't going to say anything Joe. Happens to us all mate.

[flyjoe180]

You're too kind Steve

Decals are on. A lot of tiny stencils for such a small model, but they're all on. Hasegawa's decals in this case were thin and strong enough to resist decal solution. Except for the wing walk way markings, which are in about five pieces due to ripping. All I did was look at them and they exploded! Flat varnish to come, then the last details. I've created a small base for the 262 and its towed bomb. It's amazing how much the colours change in the varying light.

[HAWKERHUNTER]

Gotta just love them when the decals go on. Great work on the paint Joe, I can see the work that went into getting that right.

Thanks Steve. Did what I could in 1/72, close enough for me

Lovely paintjob Joe, looking great so far, have fun!

[flyjoe180]

Thanks Steven

[flyjoe180]

Applied a pin wash and a flat varnish today, so the finished result should be due out in the near future.

[Jim R]

Looking very good indeed.

[flyjoe180]

Thanks Jim, it's very unique
