More painting:-
Matt red given as general base for gloss red. Gloss red applied in three thin coats (Tamiya). Initial coat with Tamiya thinners, then second 30% Paint, 30% Tamiya thinners, 40% Mr. Self Levelling Thinners. 3rd Coat, 40% paint, 60% Mr. Hobby Self Levelling Thinners.
Good ventilation and spray mask required!!
Once dry masking carefully removed. Only a couple of faint bleeds that needed polishing off with very fine sanding stick then yellow buffed back to sheen.
Whole model then given 3 coats of Kleer to seal all paintwork in readiness for the decals.
Some pictures follow, thanks for looking:-

Both airframes mainly constructed. Trumpeter has been cleaned up, whilst the Eduard one needs some rubbing down mainly on the wing to fuselage joints.

I decided to build both the Eduard Two seat Me-262 and the Trumpeter single seat together. So here I have painted the cockpits. I have used some painted paper seat belts to busy up the cockpits and are now ready to install in the fuselages.

Whilst the website has been down have been on with this one.
Now given a Pink undercoat, then a coat of Matt Yellow as a base for the Gloss Yellow.
Gloss Yellow with a spot of Red added to match the decal sheet as best I could.
When dry, Yellow Gloss then masked off in readiness for Red (No pun Intended)

Nice work Chris.
I'd use some thin stretched sprue for those aerials.

It looks like a Scimitar, and if you enjoyed the build then that's a good result.
