That would have been interesting to see when you airbrushed all those lines!
Looking good!

Must have taken hours to do this... Are you going to tone them down a bit later?
Re: Hobby Boss 1/48 Me 262A-1a/U3
Thought about an oil filter after the clear coat. Or I could use the same green tones as a filter straight on top.
What'cha think?

Maybe a rather thin overspray by the grey base tone?
Re: Hobby Boss 1/48 Me 262A-1a/U3
Ah, ok, guess I was on the "woodway". 
The contrast of the pic is a bit heavier than the real thing looks like. But you're absolutely right, a light mist of the base colour will tone that plate of spaghetti down a bit.
Thanks mate!

Thank you, Owl! Sprayed a light blue filter over all that curly wurly and a layer of stinking Future on top.
Today I cared for the decals.

The lighting also seems to have improved. Looks this much better now, especially with the decals on. Very close to the finish line now! 
Re: Hobby Boss 1/48 Me 262A-1a/U3
The camo is amazing. Makes me dizzy. I like this one a lot.
To make each build less crappy than the last one. Or, put another way, "Better than the last one, not as good as the next one!"..

I love squiggly lined birds. Why the tail wings not on yet?
