Kikka

 

Compared to the Me-262 the Kikka is much smaller, has no swept back wings and looks more conventional. 

I'm not spending a lot of effort on the cockpit, since the canopy will be closed. I only have to add some seatbelts now. 

Main assemblies coming together... 

Dark grey primer. I'm using enamel paints for this one. 

Undersides are Revell FS36270. Uppers are Revell Matt 48 mixed with Humbrol 149 1:1. I wanted to use and mix what I have in the paint stash. 

I think the paint mix looks pretty good like the Imperial Japanese Navy green which the airplane had. National markings are spray painted on. Decals feel very thick, just like the ones on the Reppu from FineMolds. 

Finished! From this angle there is a striking resemblance to the Me-262
