Re: 262, 109, 190 Very good color film

You are correct, I over-simplified. I'd love to see a decent color photo of this aircraft, dozens of B&W photos out there, but precious few color shots of any quality. Given that, I prefer not to speculate on the exact finish of this bird in terms of primers, putties applied.

It was, however, probably at least similar to the what was found under the camouflage paint (at least where it was applied) on the 262 in the Australian War Memorial, as documented in both an article in their their Journal from many years ago, as well as in Eagle Files #5, "Stormbird Colors: Construction, Camouflage and Markings of the Me 262".
