Hi

This is a Lindberg Me-262 in 1/48 scale that I picked up at an outlet store for airbrush practice.

I'll just say I have less visible seams than the box art. I think the molds for this one are 40 years old.

This is my first attempt at a German mottle aircraft scheme. except for the hard edges on the wings, it is done freehand with a badger krome.

The marking's that came with it were terrible, so except for the numbers (11) and the shield, I airbrushed them on using stencils.

Its RLM 83 dark green and RLM 81 Brown violet over RLM 76 light blue.





thanks for looking
Delbert
