Well Shuckey Darn, friend Toshi -

I extend my sympathy and very best wishes for FULL and quick recoveries, from the round of illness you and Mrs.Toshi have recently experienced. I'm so glad to read that your kids have stepped up, to care so well for you both. That says you instilled a strong sense of family and responsibility, while you were raising them. Good job.

Stay well, take the best care of yourselves. Remember, regular hours and quality sleep/rest go a long way toward recovery and overall wellness.

Gonna do a shark mouth 262????? I think it would look sharp.

 Here is my completed 262.  It took me a while to pull this together.  LOL!  I know it's still fast.  LOL!  I have included my other build of which is the Trumpeter 1/32 262 visible, this and the visible are some of my most favorite kits.  I hope you enjoy my completed 1/48 262.

Gorgeous Toshi. You nailed that mottling. I'm sorry to hear about your wife's illness and I'm glad she's better.

 

Toshi

Took you a while to put this one together? My Lord I sneezed and it was done!

Looks great Toshi. The mottling looks very good.

What a difference scale makes!  Great camo schemes on them.  What's next?

Great build Toshi, really nicely finished.

And best wishes to the Mrs as well. Go and build her a 72nd kit, that will cheer her up

I just love that paint job, Toshi. Something about the way the off-white of the nose fades away towards the rear as the mottling takes over.

I'm really very impressed with your mottling job here.

You've made me want to try one of these and try to duplicate your mottling. It's just a neat looking little jet that looking at the box I'd never take a second look at. But built up........   hmmmmm.

The mottling was done first by spraying dark green dots at 15 PSI then going over the dots with a worm type pattern in light gray to give it a small but light contrast.  There are much better pro FSM Forum members that have better information and techniques than what I've done, maybe they could chime in on this thread.  Anyone is free to do so, I could learn a ton!  

It is a very neat looking jet, I must agree.  I too didn't take it seriously until I saw the Trumpeter 1/32 Visible 262 kit.  Then when I built it, it was so cool looking.  That's when I became a 262 fan!  Thank you so much for your support and interest in my builds, I so greatly appreciate it.  If you have any more questions in this regards and or anything else, I'll be more than happy to share my limited experience with you my friend!

Hey Toshi!

Great job on the Me 262!  You don't give yourself enough credit: that's a very nice job you did with the kit and you should be proud.  Hope that you and Mrs. Toshi are well on the way on the road to recovery!!

I used to buy him all kinds of Dragon Ball Z toys for him.  At times I probably spoiled him silly but he was a really good boy until he found out what the opposite sex was about!  LOL!  That's ok, we all went through growing pains.  Thank you for the walk in the past and for visiting my threads.  This means very much to me as I so enjoy our conversations.  Supersaiyan!
