ME 262 B-1 White 6
 

I have recently bought the Revell Me 262 B-1, and want to build it as a day fighter / trainer. I have ordered Peddinghaus decals for White 6 of the Blohm und Voss ISS. I can't find any information about it aside from the decal instructions. Anyone have more information about this particular aircraft? Thanks

A word of warning / advice about this kit. The canopy of the night-fighter is different from the trainer version

It was said that white 6 was from III./EJG2 ?

What is this Blohm und Voss ISS you speak of?

B & V was a major shipbuilder that went into maritime aircraft production before the war started. Its best known aircraft are the Bv 138 and Bv222. They also took over the development of the Bf 109H, as the Bv155. They were contracted to covert the single seat Me 262 into two seaters. Some of these two seaters may have been used as point defence of BV facilities around Hamburg.

Many thanks, but that doesn't bother me.

Thanks for the replies guys. My primary concern is the colours / markings for white 6. Peddinghaus shows the aircraft with RLM 81/83 camouflage. I want to know if there are other possibilities. The RLM 81/83 may have been used later than the period when this aircraft was in service.
