Hi. The ' One ' tail decal is a 'V' shape. You need to put the angle of the 'V' at the front of the rudder and then draw it along the black line until you get to the back of the rudder. Its supposed to be one decal. I hope that helps. The alternative is to spra it with your airbrush. Good luck.

thanks

I like revell so much.

[@yorkshiremanmodels]

some kits i do and others are not good at all

[@vampiredragon0754]

It was a good looking 1/72 Me 262 model.🙂👍

[@yorkshiremanmodels]

thanks
i have always enjoyed a me 262

Admittedly, the instructions are not very clear about this, but decal 20 is for both sides. If you put the corner on the edge of the rudder, you can see a white line on both sides. But the paint job turned out really well. Either way.

[@yorkshiremanmodels]

oh well wish i had thought of that before but as you say the instructions dont help
thanks for pointing it out and hope it helps someone else if they are doing the same kit

[@BrianSanders-tn7pi]

Hi again. I think that I got that wrong. But it does look strange. I couldn,t see it on the screen. But you got it done so well done.

[@yorkshiremanmodels]

no worries and thanks for the comments

That's certainly a very nice little Me262 build despite the issues. Just discovered and subscribed to your channel.

[@yorkshiremanmodels]

thanks pal and i have just subscribed to yours as well

[@diegoplanell2780]

It might have just been my one but on my instructions it said Bf-109 G-10 Normandy instead of Me262 🤣🤣

[@yorkshiremanmodels]

knowing revell and how bad they can be i wouldnt be suprised if they called it a spitfire lol

[@eddiebirdie1545]

Hiya mate, nice paint job but i don't think I'll bother with this kit i don't see why Revell can't seem to make a 100%good kit there's allways an issue, as for tail sitters that's what stands were invented for I've made that mistake many times 😂.

[@yorkshiremanmodels]

Honestly I wish I had bought either airfix or another manufacturers me262
The cheapness of the kit doesn't pay off with the bad fitting and bad decals
The camo paint is probably the best thing about the kit

[@eddiebirdie1545]

@@yorkshiremanmodels The Airfix 1:72 262 has engine fit issues which require some clever sanding to correct but other than that it is a good kit🐥.

On the real aircraft the grooves between the panels were filled with nitro putty and then carefully sanded. So the broad grooves often visible on models are simply wrong. Enhancing them with a black washing makes the matter even worse. According to Luftwaffe painting instructions the undersides of the wings, rear part of the fuselage and underside of the tailplane did not receive any paint. These parts were just treated with putty and sanded. Wheel hubs had a black coat of paint, they were not left in aluminium. The engine nacelles undersides and flanks were painted in pale grey RLM 76.The colours of the upper surfaces are at least questionable. Contrary to general belief, most aircraft were either finished in the older RLM 70/71 colors or only in dark green 71. The wheel wells on the Revell kit are wrong, Airfix did a better job here. The slats were always extended when the aircraft was on the ground. After takeoff the airpressure held them in the closed position. These are just a few points...

[@yorkshiremanmodels]

cheers pal and its always nice to learn some information about how the real aircraft are painted and made
i dont have a massive range of colours and sometimes i will just make up as best i can so i can make the models
nearly all my paints and models i buy myself and as such its sometimes a case of doing the best i can to finish a model
thanks for the comments
