Pete's Me262

That's a great start Pete, I'm sure you'll get the mottling right when the time comes. Great to read she recovered so fast, knee-repairs can take a long time and infections are always a risk too... cheers

Well, a diagnosis is one thing, finding effective medication another! I have good spells and bad spell, but managed to get this far:

For some reason I couldn't add more text after those two pics - meant to say I've used some Mr Surfacer to deal with the mismatch between the fuselage halves. The engines are next but need some painting before assembly.

Coming along nicely Pete.

Great news mate that your both on the mend. The build is looking great as well.

I'm not sure how that post above has reappeared as the latest post in this thread, but doesn't matter. Anyway, after a long hiatus I thought I'd better get some more done on this, so threw some Mr Surface at it to highlight where it needs more sanding and filling. Of course I had to fit the canopy to keep the dust out of the cockpit.


Needs more work than I thought...
Cheers
Pete

What happened to my post in the last hour?

[stillp]

My previous post doesn't make sense, but the 16:21 one above was posted but then disappeared! Above that was a post from the first page in this thread!
I'm confused.

Thanks Joe, it seems to have sorted itself now.

Well, I've not posted recently but have been able to make a small amount of progress. Wish I'd picked to build this as a bomber, as it has a much simpler camo scheme! Anyway, camo is on now.

I've left some of the masking on for now as the next step is the dreaded mottling - in 3 different colours! (Don't hold your breath, this may take some time!)
