SPA Modeler

Looking very sharp Bish! I love the brightness and the contrast on the greens. Humbrol makes the more brown version of RLM 83 if your in need of another source of that color.

Thanks Carlos. Ye, i had seen there range of RLM colours, but i got a good stash of the colorcoats one before that. Just can't figure out why Xtracolor switched theirs rather than bring out a second version.

It's looking great Bish!

Wow, that is an attractive looking Swallow! Magnificent!

Thanks Duke.

Got the 262 completed a couple of night ago. I changed my mind for the weathering and just went with a Flory wash, but i didn't use my usualy mix of greys but went for grime and it had a nice effect.







All the final bit were adde and it was secured to the base. I was surprised that it was a tail sitter, early on i didn't think it would be. I used some of the Eduard PE wire but also used my own wire in some places such as the brake lines. I didn't wire up the engine, preffering just to leave as is.



The panel on the right side of the fuselage is not held in place, so that can be removed.





The forward panel over the guns and the one for the left side of the gun bay are removable. I figured after geting metal barrels, it would be a shame to have them covered up.





I have not aded chocks to any of my 32nd builds as they have all been on grass or sand till now. But i figure this could do with some so going to order a set from Hannants next week. This was a nice build with some great detail, though some of the fit could have been better, but nothing that could not be solved.

Looks really good Bish!

Looks fantastic Bish.

What a beautiful piece of work! Those a/c always look dangerous.

Excellent work Bish - that's a cracking looking 262.

Thanks guys.
