Re: He-162 Volksjäger
I know how you feel about stepping one step back having to scrub the paint again. It's good to work on something else while waiting for the paint you need. That way you at least feel like you're making some progress somewhere.

We are modelers - the same in spirit, in hunger to insanely buy newly released kits, hustlers in hiding our stash from our better halves and experts in using garbage as replacements for after-market parts.

Re: He-162 Volksjäger
This was the try using Vallejo model air paint
Then the finished jet engine
looks like I need to clean up the grey wash a bit more on the rear section.
Thanks for looking in!

Winner, winner, chicken dinner! Two homeruns....repainting looks great and the engine is, well, amazing.

Looks like that paint laid down really smooth for you and I really like the way that engine came out. The plumming looks fantastic!!!!

Re: He-162 Volksjäger
Is this your profile or similar?
Color reference
I am catching up, so I was curious about the camo, Clint. The dark green appears to be used as a non-glare section in front of the windshield in some cases - not the experimental versions. So. Which profile is yours?

Re: He-162 Volksjäger
Thank you everyone! That was the try with Vallejo model air. That paint has been scrubbed and will be ordering AK Real Color Friday after I get paid. I didn't like it so third time's a charm right? Took three stabs on my Storch and three on this one.

Re: He-162 Volksjäger
Thanks for them photos Bruce! I'm trying to depict white 1 at Leck. White 3 on that profile looks the closest.

Re: He-162 Volksjäger
Thank you so much, Clint. I appreciate the clarification. The squared edge is going to be removed? I marked this with an arrow. Forgive my ignorance, Clint. I am trying to understand the hard edges here.
