SwedBear,

 Thanks. I painted those blobs with airbrush using home made masks.

SwedBear, have you tried reducing the stickiness of your masking material by sticking it on something a couple times before you adhere it to the model?  I've had the same issues and that seems to work for me.  I use my cutting mat or even the pants I'm wearing, 2-3 times seems to do it.

cnq: Yours look great. Question: those blobs at the bottom of the camouflage - did you do them with airbrush or paint them with a brush? I still such at making mottled camouflage with the airbrush :(.

RobGroot: I've had some issues with paintlifting lately when masking and decided to test to do it paint by paint. Ideally you should be able to do it by painting everything green first and then adding the next color.

Really a great build of a plane that I don't think I've seen before.

Quick question, did you mask the plane twice for the body paint?  It looks like you did the brown, and then added the green.  Does it make a difference not to just do the green and then add the brown over it?

Posted by SwedBear on Sunday, February 8, 2015 6:08 PM

I have a certain fondness for Revell as I used to buy their kits back in the late 80:s when I was a young builder. Now that I taken up the hobby again I found that their kits are cheap and still pretty good. I picked up the Messersmith P-1099B (a Luft46-plane) cheap and built it and found that the kit was very nice and well worth building.

149 SKr is around 18-20$ which is a cheap kit in Sweden. Since I am a Luft46-freak I just had to build this. This plane was built upon the Me262. It was of course never built.

The cockpit was pretty good detailed with good decals. I added some small safetybelts.

The plane has two guns pinting backwards at the end of the plane and I had to drill up the hole for them.

I never checked if Eduard or anyone else had masks for the cockpit and made my own. It's not easy though and the result was just ok. 

Here I've started to use putty to fix the few issues that needed taken care of. The fit was overall good although there were some places that needed filler.

After Vallejo primer I started to do some pre-shading. I haven't mastered that yet though as I did not really get it to shile through the paint. 

I used Tamayia tape to mask and started painting with Vallejo Model Air RLM-colors. While I do have a big bunch of Revell colors at home I choose to use Vallejo everywhere.

Starting to get closer to weathering. I used various MIG and AK-washes to weather the plane. I did a lot of reading on the engines which seem to be the same as the ME262 and it seems you did not get a lot of black exhause around them so I left them pretty much as they were.

The decals actually were really nice with a lot of small things to add to the model. No swastica though which is not odd as it comes from Revell Germany.
