Custom 1/18 ME-262

Post by gliderdwm » Tue Dec 08, 2009 9:32 pm

Interesting custom ME-262 Nightfighter for sale:

Pictures show original on the first picture. Just an observation but better to use an Iwata or other fine airbrush to make lines instead of using something that looks like it was done with a sharpie. :P

WOW! not bad man!!!

I was thinking about doing one like that with the camo wings...

I have seen lots of mismatched planes before..

This is one of his best so far I think!!

Edit. I see he still uses the white out lol :roll: :lol:

What no Tellermines !!! :twisted:


No that was just a stir for the Trolls. Looks great with the Hybrid paint job.

Looks good to me even if the pattern makes me think it's a Keith Haring design... :D

I don't think so.. These are squiggly lines, Not spots... :roll:

It doesn't look bad, but again, he has used a LOT of artistic license since the Nightfighter me-262 wasn't painted like this (squiggly lines). But he did do a nice job!

Even by following the artwork he included in the listing, he got it backwards. Print shows green squiggly's on gray, he's got'em switched on the model. It does look nice though I gotta say, even if it's incorrect.

He would be.. if the JSI F-15 turns out as a "Tiger Meet Squiggle Eagle" :lol:

He is quite a skilled painter, wouldnt it be ironic if he were the one to figure out the definitive method to repair/cover the spots?
