custom 1/18 me262 night fighter

Post by flyboy_fx » Fri Feb 27, 2009 11:06 am

Hay all
here is my custom 1/18 me262.
using my airbrush
I masked of all the decals and the white part, so no black over spray would go on it. Then i gave the bottom a coat of testers flat black and highlighted it with a pale gray color. Masked of the black this time and painted the top with a very light stroke of ghost gray. Still leaving the stock stripes on i gave it the other two colors commonly seen on night fighter. forgot what they where called, but the paint job in some parts was intentional sloppy.

LMK what ya think

the first is a real pic

Wow, I like your custom camo. This paint scheme only adds to a already great model. I think its better then the original!
