Thanks Guys, Its the first aircraft Ive done in over a year so it was a nice change of pace. I did this one so I could measure my progress as a modeler as I did this same 262 back in 2010? or 2009? maybe even before that.

Here is the one from years ago:

It looks cool but the top swirl should not have been done with a paint pen because it leaves a hard edge and the real camo was sprayed on so it should have a soft edge. Also the colors were reversed as it should have been grey with dark grey/green sprayed on camo. Also the bottom half of the radar should be black. I also did not weather the bottom at all and just left it flat black but I should have done a grey wash on it to pop out all the detail and panel lines. All those issues were fixed on this version.
