I don't know if this particular aircraft was different but I think most of them had a soft edge to the camoflage transition line. I certainly wouldn't try to change it on this one but it is something to think about next time. Unless of coures this one did have a hard edge.

Apart from that the paint chip effects look really good and enhance the panelling very well.

Allmost done. I have to put the rockets on.

Very nice job and for your second model you should be justifiably impressed.

2nd model? Wow,thats a great looking build and the weathering is nicely done as are the interior details . I'de be proud to have that on my shelf.

[Guest]

Some very nice weathering and detail in this model. I particularly like the wheel wells and the gun bay.

Nice job on this 262. I agree with Bunkerbarge about the demarcation of the upper and lower camouflage. Also your antenna wire looks too heavy. They were made from a fairly light stainless steel cable. I use 1Kg monofilament fishing line which I give a wipe with an aluminium paint. I've seen stretched clear sprue look good too.

Keep up the good work, I'm looking forward to your third model.

Cheers
