Re: Heinkel He 162 upper wingcolour Mystery
Hi all,
This restoration project is obviously a labour of love. I'm surprised that the wing markings (top) do not reflect the correct style that was used. Also, painting the wing RLM 71 when it is apparent that this aircraft along with 120076 and 120086 show a 'vivid' dark green colour upper surface. This 'different' shade of green is visible on the wing under the engine nacelle on all three aicraft. In the case of 120086 it was shown that the entire wing was this colour.
So, often the final touches detract from all the great work that was done....much like the wrong style roundel etc. on the CF-105 Avro Arrow replica and the '35' on the Me262 restoration.
Cheers,
John
