Trumpeter 1/32 Me 262 A2-a

[Vaughan]

This has been a joy to build with no issues, even the decals didn't let me down. Built straight out of the box as the kit came with white metal undercart and PE belts. Thanks everyone for following the build. All comments welcome.

Beautifully built , painted , presented and photographed Vaughan , you should be well chuffed with the result. What did you use for lighting the pics and what setting on the camera ( light balance ) , they’re so clean and crisp, I wish I could get mine like that , cheers tony

Thanks guys for all your compliments.
Tony here's some shots of the lighting equipment and camera settings I use. To be honest I have every thing set on auto as regards to light balance that's auto too. What I tend to do is open the images in preview on my iMac and adjust the setting there. I hit the auto lighting button and the sharpness to full and that usually does the trick. Hopefully this helps. I've included some shots taken with my smart phone which are ok but dare I say I like to use a real camera which is an Olympus OM-D E-M5 micro 4 thirds format. But saying that smart phone take a good photo.


Here's the camera with the settings








These are the soft box lights and the bulbs which are 80w they are very bright a defuser is fitted to the front of the light.






I use two sheets of white A3 artist card one fixed as a back sheet the other as the floor. Each lamp is positioned either side of the model.







Here are some shots I took quickly with my phone with no adjustments and they look ok



This ones been adjusted auto and sharpness not a great difference just a bit brighter.




Here's the iMac image




And finally the equipment I use which you can buy from Amazon it all collapses to pack away.

Superb model Vaughan, and to echo Tony's post beautifully painted and photographed.

Just a bit of care makes all the difference to the presentation of a finished model.

Top work for sure.

Hi Vaughan
That's a really nice result. As has been noted the paintwork is great and your photographs show it at it's best.

Brilliant result. I just showed my wife the pictures and asked, how does Vaughan get such good photos ? Then I scrolled down !
Photography is still a dark art for me.

[Vaughan]

Thanks once again for all your kind comments. Will start a new model but not sure of which one to build yet.

Excellent result. One question. Why only these two guns? PaulE

Excellent result. One question. Why only these two guns? PaulE

Cheers, this version was designated as ground attack and carried 4 bombs which I haven't opted for. The kit came with the extra guns and the appropriate nose cone but the instructions were for the two gun version only and other parts were missing. I hope this answers your question?
