Re: Heinkel He 162 upper wingcolour Mystery

Hi Stephen and Pascal,

My photo show a very small part of the wing of 120086, only taken in november 2006!! by the team of the Canadian Museum in order to help us for the restoration of 120015!
I am sure that this small part have the original german paint, as you can see on the bottom some original german markings for the fuel tank.
But I am OK with you, the german cross were overpainted during the Hyde park show, so the 'green color' near the actual german cross is an english green!
Stephen, the wing's photo with the splinter camouflage show the wing, not of 120086, but of 120076.

Pascal, I know those two photos, with the all black cross, but our wings have not this sort of cross, sorry but we discovered under the 4 french paint the original cross, like you can see at our MFA site.
Don' remenber that tail , fins and wings were easy go from one to another plane!
For our 120015, one fin come from 120223, one from 31005 and the ejection seat from 120231!!But the wings come really from 120015, as we find "15" on the wings.

The story of the 162 camouflage is difficult!
