Re: 1/48 Tamiya Me-262
Thanks Carlos! The more I look at my reference painting the more dissatisfied I am with my efforts. I'm gonna have another go at those sides....I just feel like I can do better than that. I spent too much time trying to get rid of the demarcation lines at the bottom of the topside camo pattern on the fuselage and covered way too much of an area with the dark colors. I'll get this taken care of.....and soon.

Re: 1/48 Tamiya Me-262
I applied a glosscoat to the top side yesterday using Vallejo's acrylic gloss. Dunno what it is about acrylic glosses but it was fairly difficult for me to apply (probably because I thinned it down too much ) and it puddled in a few areas on the starboard wing. Gimme some lacquer based clear and I can work wonders with it. This stuff is like me trying to speak a foreign language. Anyhow.... I sanded the irregularities out of the gloss, touched up some paint where I burned through in the sanding process and re-applied the gloss this morning. Cals are upcoming next....

Have you tried Alclad aqua gloss? Best acrylic gloss clear I've used.
