Messerschmitt Me 163 S--Painting & Markings

The spraying of the RLM and colors was done with Gunze paints. The two-tone RLM 75/82 scheme is based on my imagination in keeping with the whatif motive.

Doing the mottling wasn't particularly difficult, thanks to the high-quality paint and my trusted Iwata airbrush.
Markings were down with custom made masks from Miracle Masks. I highly recommend those for their quality and ease of use.
Even the outline swastika could be easily done with this method, in spite of their small size in 72 scale.



Decals were used for the stencils, mostly from the kit.
The emblem came from the Rocketeer sheet for the Komet and was donated by a fellow modeler.
