Modelling Projects / Re: Messerschmitt Me262 in 1/144th
« Last post by Bigkev on Today at 06:49:04 AM »Hi All,
A bit more progress. The decals have been applied, using the Micro Set and Micro Sol solution's.
A quick check revealed a couple of areas where silvering occurred despite the gloss finish. So using a hypodermic needle, I pricked the areas involved and applied some more Micro Sol.
Once dried, I will give the model a wash with a warm soapy piece of cloth, followed by a quick rinse, to remove any excess solution's, and then it is time for the varnish.
Some pictures to show:-

Thankyou for your comment, yes, it is coming along nicely now..
As to the 'Kleer' I always use a number '6' size brush. But I find that it works better if you wet the brush thoroughly in warm water, then squeeze out most of water before dipping it in the 'Kleer'. Then it is just a case of quick light coats, allowing about an hour between coats.
Cheers,
Bigkev

You will soon be up in the air wing walking Kevin - hohoho
Hi Msea,
Would you like me to adorn the bright yellow all in one job, just like 'Anneka Rice' for the event..?
Note, I now need a much larger, more generous size to accommodate my power pack (read Tummy)

Will any of these plants resemble the 'Fungi' that you obviously take before your next modelling session....??
Bigkev
Or will it be those 'wiffy ones' from your greenhouse..?

Be sure that you get the 'Robbo Wink' right.
I dread to think what you will come up to represent me...?

Well a bit further on now.
Managed to paint in the red trim on the nose and tail.
Also I have applied 3 thin coats of Johnson's 'Kleer' to the airframe ready for decaling. However, I kept the 'Kleer' off the canopy parts, so as not to create a build up on the canopy frames. Once decalled, I will apply a final Matt/Satin coat to the whole airframe, including the canopy so there will be no apparent difference in finish..... I hope!
Decaling next...…
