Admire, learn and build, doesn't matter how good you are, enjoy it!
There are no bad modellers only modellers at different levels....

Nice 262!
Trebor mate, like Evan and Wayne have said it takes paitence.
As far as exhaust staining goes why not get some cheap water colours or pastels and try with those. Once you get the hang of it its quite easy. if you dont like what you have done just wipe it off with a damp rag.

Try using some pastel chalk with a brush, Black some dark brown shades....
Put it on the matt paint before you Gloss so you can seal it. If its not right wipe off and start again, do it lightly and build it up. I use a few different brushes depending on the effect.
You can do it after your final matt coat as well.
here is a shot my Fw190A-5 showing some pastel black applied on the matt paint and then sealed with a gloss coat.
Ha. heinz mate we're on the same wavelength....

Trebor, for exhaust stains I use coal dust (real carbon!) I dip my brush in IPA, then the coal dust, apply to the model at the exhaust and when dry I use one of my girlfriends soft make-up brushes to brush it out a bit (she'd kill me if she knew!!), I reckon it looks ok.
So don't tell her about it .
But it is a good idead Muller.To be honest these girls and girl's accessories are very useful fo us modellers aren't they?
Some of them I've uploaded somewhere in the forum,Please , look at the PICTURE ALBUM/MODELS/AIRCRAFT gallery as well.Besides I don't have any camera
ALthough some of these pics in the gallery are signed by Administrator but in fact these are mine.PZL P-7a,YAK-23,P-51D,Spitfire MK.IIA,P-51A Mustang MKII.I think it was caused by a system failure which occured a year and a half ago.

Good tips guys! I also use watercolours and artist's pastels (blacks, browns and dark greys, depending on the area I'm working) for staining, shading, etc, aswell as Chinese ink (black).
I also use some womén's cosmetic tools for modelmaking (..Ivett has to buy them though for me...I'm not THAT brave or crazy!!! ) - A long nail file stick for initial (rough) sanding of long straight seams (wing leading/ trailing edges, etc), some no-shine face powders for simulating mud on truck chassis' etc, and non-acetone make-up remover for smoothing putty joins -(apply to a cotton bud ('ear cleaner') and wipe the join while the putty is wet, saves a bit of sanding later)
