Too lazy to start another project for my FoW stuff but truth is I never realy stopped expanding my Flames over the last few years. Only it resembled more and more a bundle of half finished projects which started to get under my skin a bit. One of more interesting piles that had been taking up too much of my desk space the last 6 months was a plastic Tamyia Me262 with Me163 @ 1/100 scale an air control tower printed on my old FDM just before it blue smoked and a collection of resin bits that kind of resembled a pair of Me262’s also @1/100 scale that were tweaked to work my Vitrix flight stands

Loose and tight old brushed to stipple on fuzzy effects and a micron pen to fake key lines on my smooth resin prints.

I wont go over the how to’s of putting a plastic kits together or detail painting step by step but I did employ a few new tricks to get the resin models to match the Tamyia kit as close as possible.

In hand I had 3 aircraft but only 1 set of scale decals. Answer turned out I had to make my own…kind off. Sourcing decal paper for my ink jet epson was easy enough and I had scale decals in hand as a template but standard printers dont print white.

So I resorted to trying both solid black and a black out line on transparent paper as a basis to then paint over.
