Re: Heinkel He 162 upper wingcolour Mystery

Hi Philippe,

Thanks for the photo of the fuselage. I too have taken many photos of 86 and am glad that I did because of it's rarity.

Sure, please send along a photo of the cockpit of 015; I'd appreciate that.

What's interesting with the fuselage photograph is it shows the differences between the two greens (wing and fuselage) and the colour on the fuselage is defintely more of a olive colour. Also, your photo shows a thick layer of dust, mine also, and this does have an effect when taking pictures with a flash. In order to study 086 it needs to be professionaly cleaned.

Hopefully some day this will happen because it will certainly advance our knowledge in late war German camouflage colours.

Stephen
