1/48 Tamiya Me 262 A1a

Gallery Article by Jens Gerber on Oct 11 2013

 

 

The marker represents a machine of KG (J) 27, which fall should be made with the hunter emergency program of He 111 Fw 190 and Me 262 fighter pilots too.

Mostly the Fw 190 D9 flown, some were given the Fw 190 A 7 and 8 assigned, very few have been retrained on the Me 262.

Further detail was added with the belts (Eduard) the pitot tube (Cannula) and some cables to the chassis, the antenna is formed from extruded plastic insulators are made of superglue and then with acrylic artist paint stained (water droplets give the final a nice round shape, acrylic artist paint can be well diluted with water, which can be very helpful even when weathering, moisten the surface, then errors can be quickly wiped away without marks on the surface)
BK and HK are all painted with stencil of Eduard, the fuselage band was masked with Tamiya tape.

The model with Gunze Hobby Color was painted RLM 81/82/76 camouflage as a basis.  The interior colors are a mix of Alclad Aluminum Air and RLM 66.  I then weathered the model with acrylic artist paint.

Greetings from Germany.
