Re: A Me 262 being dismantled on a lake shore
Hi...
The two diagonal outlets under the nose on the first photo are, I believe, the ejection shutes for the cartridges from the nose cannon. There would have been two corresponding outlets on the opposite side.
As for the six small black 'dots' with slightly larger, circular areas of lighter coloured camouflage paint around them, the four immediately below the cockpit front and rear area correspond with known access (?) panels, which seem to have been removed after the application of the colour scheme we are looking at, hence the larger area of lighter paint around them (original undercoat / camouflage colour?). I can only imagine that the two similar areas on the lower forward nose directly under the cannon port denote similar access panels.
Regards...
