Custom ME262 Trainer
Not sure why I never showed this off yet!?!? It's been painted with Vallajo model air paints.
For the RLM81/82 I used what vallejo recommends. I did mix in some red brown with the RLM81 on the 262, I did not do that for the BF109. What vallejo recommends for the RLM81 needs some more red brown in it, I think so...

Re: Custom ME262 Trainer
I think the 109's scheme looks a little to cluttered but the 262 scheme is great!
Nice job flyboy!

Re: Custom ME262 Trainer
Those are sweet flyboy!
Keep it up!
Seeing those two on the ground like that reminded me of this video:

Skip to the 6 min mark for the segment involving a 262 that came to mind.

Re: Custom ME262 Trainer
Correct, the allies named a lot of these when they where captured. Look up Watson's Whizzers.

Re: Custom ME262 Trainer
Apparently "Vera" has been restored as part of the ME-262 Project and is the plane currently residing at Pensacola NAS. It is the only surviving trainer variant, which fact I did not know when I was standing in front of it last summer.
It's funny to realize that I have touched that very same aircraft in flyboy's pic - the only one of its kind in existence.
And it's just sitting there, right out in the open like its no big deal.
Guys over at Warbird Information Exchange discussed its history in the third post down:

And she was Watson's Whizzer #555.

Re: Custom ME262 Trainer
Herp derp. Re: my post Pensacola NAS, which is to say the Naval Aviation Museum located on the grounds of the Naval Air Station which is in Pensacola, Fl.
At least that's where it was when I saw it last. All I can say for certain is its not in Georgia because I'm there right now and I don't see it anywhere.

Re: Custom ME262 Trainer
When I was in the Navy from 1990-1994, I saw this ME 262 trainer at NAS Willow Grove, PA. before the base closed down. It was in rough shape. A company in Texas, before it moved to Wash. State, rebuilt the plane for the Navy for free, in return the company , who was building full scale replica ME 262's, used this trainer aircraft as a template to built the others. Some of you may have heard of this company. One of the aircraft, a single seat fighter version, was sold to Germany. You can see videos of it on youtube.
