Re: Heinkel He 162 upper wingcolour Mystery

No problem Philippe, i just doesnt know about this 1960 camo And after a second close examination this white swastika was sligtly not high enough as well as not perfectly vertical to be German...

Very strange to see that this supposed broken fin is not!

The only explanation would be that:
1/ 120223 goes to the repair place cause of its broken wing tip and there give its right bleu fin to another plane which is among the five given to the French. >> if true and if it's the only element we have to say that 120223 came in France then 120223 perhaps never came in France >> need to check

2/ sometimes later, perhaps only after surrender, a new green fin was added to 120223

Cheers
