Messerschmitt Me 262 Matchbox 1/72 Retro-Modelling
Great box art from Roy Huxley ... pure vintage.
Love those colour sprues.
Main parts glued together. No major issues found.
Main parts assembled and first coat of light blue has been brushed on... Yes ,,, now I know it'd be RLM76 , and not RLM65 ,,, But to keep true to retro-modelling I've painted it as per Matchbox instructions.
Upper green..... At that time, at least in Slain , most of us painted all Luftwaffe aircraft in two shades of green.
Paint squeme as per Matchbcsx intructions and the information from Blandford .... which is the only information I had at that time.
Dark green als has been paitned on and I've started to paint the fuselage splotches with a brush.
Retro information.
Decalling as per my old information.
Decalling completed.
I took an very old Italaerei ... (yes Italaerei ) pilot from the spares boxes. I can call it done ... Just in time for the closing of the Group Build.
Today I've just realized that in the rush for having it completed by the end of the year I forgot to paint the formation lights ....
... and also canopy frames should have been painted in black green and not in dark green.
Corrected
Now Is fully finished.

Album info
As I usually do with my retro-modelling projects, this kit will be built with the skills I had at that time. That is ... no putty , no wet sanding and brush painted. Just fun !!!!
Let's hope I can complete it by the end of the year.
