Me 262 repaint (1 Viewer)

Very nice repaint. I like it much better than the original.
 
It's things like this that makes one want to go out and buy a second ME262 !!! {sm2}

Not really, as there were some problems with the ME262....I did return mine due to stability issues.....also I did not like the paint scheme;much darker than exspected........but if I could have one like this re-paint I would certainly be on board....I wonder how much a re-paint like this costs???...it is certainly well done.
 
Amazing repaint-well done !
I just finished reading Albert Speer's memoir and it was amazing to see how hard he and the Luftwaffe leadership had to fight with Hitler over whether this plane would enter service as a bomber or a fighter. Needless to say, Hitler's "vision" won out and it supposedly started service equipped as a bomber, while the Luftwaffe leadership was begging for it to be used in fighter mode-which came later....go figure.

Black four was part of Jagdgeschwader 7 Nowotny Me 262 sq ,there is black and white photos of the plane as well but the reason I went for that one is there a painting of it attacking some Lancaster over Germany in the day light raid witch I've got :smile2:


What an outstanding repaint-simply brilliant. When able, could you please tell me the name of the print/artist that depicted "Black Four" as I have a somewhat substantial amount of aviation art and love to at least save the images on my computer of various warbirds/squadrons, etc. Many thanks!

Enjoy,
Marc

UKsubs, Your "Repaint" looks identical to the 21st Century toys version. Not exact but close !!!

Hi Guys and UK subs,

First of all congrats to “UK Subs” on his ME262 repaint…excellent job and well executed!

Like UK Subs both Gordon and me are big fans of the 21st Century models…They produced some fantastic aircraft at amazingly low prices…And we also have a few.

Just one tiny problem though…,they went BANKRUPT leaving several factories in China with multi-million dollar losses!!!

I wonder why?

Best wishes and happy collecting!

Hi Marc
The artist is David Pentland

Jet Attack by David Pentland.

DHM582. Jet Attack by David Pentland.

Oberleutenant Schalls ME 262 of JG7 catches the Australian crewed Lancaster from 5 group dead astern as it lines up for its bombing run on the Hamburg U-Boat pens. Even at this angle the speed of the jet made it difficult to get off more than a few bursts of cannon fire before it passed through the British formation. The episode was witnessed by navigator Cecil Keys in the leading Lancaster QR/Y from 61 squadron on his last raid of the war. Lt. Schall, an ace with 117 kills, and 2nd highest jet ace of the war with 14 victories was killed the following day when his aircraft hit a bomb crater on landing at his base of Parchim.
