Default RE: Me209H-V1 - Scale Combat Anyone?

Lou,
You're welcome. Thank you for the info on the kit. From the pics & 3-view, the version represented by that kit appears to be one of the converted G (or "Gustav") varients, possibly the V-50.

An easy way to accent engraved panel lines that isn't too obtrusive is to use a sharpened mechanical pencil. The inexpensive, disposable BIC mechanical pencils from WalMart work fine. After painting the camo, sharpen the pencil's 'lead' on 220 grit paper, then just let it ride in the engraved panel line grooves. It will need to be sealed with clear when finished, and care must be taken to avoid smudges while drawing the lines.

Much faster and easier than multiple painting steps and chart tape. Although, those methods are great for creating panel lines on surfaces that aren't engraved.

Please be sure to post a few pics of it when its done.
