Pauke! Pauke! – NIGHTFIGHTER! Me 262 B-1a/U1 Red 12 | Part 4

I appield several thin coats of light blue over
the blue preshading.

Photographing the light blue surfaces with its
subtable variations in hue is tricky ...

... but I think it can be seen to advantage
in these shap shots.

Mock-up of markings and colors on a surplus wing.
Markings are HGW wet transfers which seem to work
very well. RLM 82 variations for the upper camo.

Pauke! Pauke! – NIGHTFIGHTER! Me 262 B-1a/U1 Red 12 | Part 3

After basic assembly of the plane I have started
to paint the upper fuselage camouflage.

The fuselage needed some rescribing of panellines.
Fit around the wing root was mediocre requiring
some putty.

The fuselage was base coated with Gunze
Surfacer 1200 followed by a thin white coat.

Blue under painting or preshading of the RLM 76.
Next will be a thin light blue coat ... :-)
