Title: Revell 1:144 Me262

I finished off the old Revell 1:144 scale Me262 kit I started a few days ago.

As I suspected, the decals just crumbled when I tried to use them. I got a couple on to the wings in pieces, but ended up having to paint over them anyway as they were so ragged and cracked. Rather than mess around like that again, I just went straight in to painting for the fuselage markings.

I can't say that I recommend these Revell kits. They're pretty terrible, and require a considerable amount of work to make them look half-decent.

I really like the way you've done the canopy. Might be stealing the idea.
best regards

Very nice!

I agree on the kits themselves though. I've had a few over the years and they've been utterly dreadful for ill-fitting parts and huge chunks of flash.
