Here is what I am working on now, its the very old Tamiya double kit of the 1/100 scale Me 163 & Me 262.

The box top...


construction started...


The airframes are now built and have been given a coat of light gray paint prior to the pre-shading


Black paint used to put the pre-shading on


I used some RLM 76 white-blue to cover up most of the pre-shading


More pics to be posted later

A couple more in-progress pics of these models, here you can see I did the rest of the painting of the camouflage pattern.

Another small update on these models, I masked and sprayed on the yellow nose on the Me 163 and the yellow fuselage band on the Me 262.

Decals have been put on the models, the decals are a mix of those supplied with the kit and others modified decals from my spares box. In this scale there are NO aftermarket decals to turn to.
