Both of the two first new Me-262's have been painted by me and are available for download. <o></o>
<o></o>
They were build by the Me-262 project team in Seattle at Paine Field, <?xml:namespace prefix = u1 /><u1:City u2:st="on"><u1lace u2:st="on">Everett</u1lace></u1:City> not far from the Boeing plant. Actually the team is more or less all former Boeing people and in the local press it has for fun been called the Boeing 262. http://www.stormbirds.com/project/index.html

The new 262’s have been approval by the Messerschmitt Foundation in Germany and have actually got its own official Messerschmitt Me-262 “c”suffix (refers to the new J-85 powerplant) and Werk Nummer’s follwing the wartime build series.


<o></o>
BTW, I really recommend the book “Project Me-262 – the test pilots journal” by Wolf Czaia which brings a very interesting view of the mammoth task of researching, building and getting the Me-262 back in the air, over 50 years since the type last flew.

Me-262 B-1c “White <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-comffice:smarttags" /><st1:metricconverter w:st="on" ProductID="1”">1”</st1:metricconverter> W.nr 501241 (N262AZ). As far as my Me-262 wartime history knowledge goes, I recon it must have been painted in a scheme resembling the single seat Me-262 A-1a flown by Maj. Rudolf Sinner from Stab III/JG 7 during March 1945.

DVHAA Me-262b-1a

DVHAA's Me-262 IS an ORIGINAL WWII aircraft, not a replica. Read the story at http://www.dvhaa.org/aircraft/me262.htm. The Willow Grove aircraft was used as the pattern aircraft for five replicas, three of which I believe are flying, including the Collings Foundation aircraft. The other two are not flyable and are up for sale. I believe I just saw one listed at about $600K, if you're interested.

Nonno, yes I've seen it. It's the one the Collings 262 was used as a "template" for on it's build. Their 262 is not an actual 262 from WWII but was made from the original 262 blueprints using the Willow Grove 262.

Come on down to KILG Aug 17th thru the 19th as the Collings Foundation will be here. She might possibly, very slim chance tho, be here. The 18th is the day to come out and see the bombers. More info later as I get all the details and post them in a separate thread in the Newshawks. Click on Collings in my sig.

Mike could you do a repaint too for the 262B like in the photos I posted above? I'd like to fly it on the computer before I get to ride in her at a future date. The ride is one of my perks.
