Here is the alpha freeware ME262 in gmax being reskinned for use as a low lod modelView attachment 18149
This is the two models super imposed, a close match, but not absolute
View attachment 18151

And this is the latest high LOD
View attachment 18150
Thanks to feedback from beta testers I have started on a more curved bubble canopy
and rescaled the whole plane.
The pilot now looks a bit smaller in his cockpit

Very good looking airplane!

I was looking but couldn´t find a a source of skin details for the Me-262, in fact instruction for the maintenance crew painted around the bottom part of the fuselage, underside of the wings, and around the engines that always took my attention. Something only seen in later times.
