I painted this model in various shades of AlcladII on different panels and then brush painted dark gray on all the panel lines.
When the paint was dry I sprayed on a thin coat of RLM 82 which allowed the panel lines to barely show through, after the markings were put on I lightly sanded off some of the paint where the pilot and ground crew might have worn off the paint if the a/c had been used operationally.
I tried to copy the camouflage that was applied to very late production Me 262's which were sometimes delivered to the fighting units in bare metal and it was up to the ground crews to apply their own camouflage.
Such Me 262's were often painted on uppersurfaces only, undersurfaces were left in bare metal.
JV 44 operated at least a couple Me 262's that were given only a partial camouflage, and ''Black X'' W.Nr. 500200 now in the Australian War Memorial Museum also has a partial camouflage paint job.
