Greg BakerI'm in... it seems very familiar somehow... for such a nice little kit, it does take a surprising amount of putty to tame. Great work on the cockpit. I shoved a pilot in there so there really was no point, but it's nice to see the details come out.

Ricardo ReisThanks Greg. Yes, I wouldn't expect fit problems from Trumpeter, but in this case there is no way around a generous amount of putty.

Greg BakerI had to hide some LED wires in mine, so I knew there'd be some putty work, but I was surprised because closing the wheel wells wasn't the worst part. The nose bugged me quite a bit.

Ricardo ReisYup, I'm surprised as well; after first sanding, moving now to finer Mr. Surfaces 500...

Ricardo ReisOlá Jorge. Não pús porque não há espaço para por, mas o kit traz um Kettenkraftrad a rebocar o avião, presumo que por esse motivo! 🙂

Jorge FerreiraUm Ketten á esc 1/144? Lindo. Eu queria um á esc 1/32 para o meu mas não há.????

Ricardo ReisDecals applied; a find them a little heavy (contrasted), but they conform very well

Greg Bakerwow... that's a very smooth build. I know what this kit has to offer, and you seem to have taken all of it. Nice work!

Ricardo ReisThank you; it's almost finished, expect to close this project in the next days...

Ricardo ReisThank you Gareth - I went in with another round of scalpel and Microsol, sprayed some MRP Gloss and I'm now waiting for it to fully cure

Lochsa Riveramazing work in this miniature scale....a break from that beautiful MIG

Ricardo ReisThank you Lochsa - indeed, this only took me a few hours to complete so far, even with the scratch made on the gun bay 🙂

Gareth BurgeJust noticed the scale...wow even more impressive! I've just completed a 144 A-10 Thunderbolt...fiddly!

Greg BakerGot an album of that one Gareth? I'd love to see... I just checked your timeline... the Revell kit?

MickyExcellent work Ricardo. Your process is similar to the one I use. 144 sclae is a challenge for the eyes!! Parabens! abracos

Ricardo ReisThank you Micky - I wouldn't say challenging for the eyes... more challenging to the hands! 🙂

Ricardo ReisIt's official: it's tail sitter! The Kettyen isn't enough to hold in place, I will have to setup a base and glue it to it
13 June 2020, 15:28
Gareth Burge@Greg...yep the Revell one. I dont think I have any In Progress shots but I do have some of the final build.

MickyExcellent Me 262 and Diorama! Due to your work I have started my own Me 262 that I have in my stash(only that is a 1a and in 1/72) Parabens, Abracos

Ricardo ReisThanks Christian; Christian and Micky, you can see the better final photos in the other album of this project, here: Me 262A-2a | Album by RReis (1:144)

Greg BakerVery nice Ricardo! Did you built the base just for this model? Or is it a multipurpose one?
29 June 2020, 00:37
Ricardo ReisI bought it from a modelling shop just for this model; I glued a grass paper from train diorama supplier on top of it, drilled a hole for the brass tube and that was it 🙂
