Re: Who dropped €3730 on this fake Me 262 eBay auction?

Honestly, I don’t see the claimed two-seater canopy framing, but just a completely normal A-1a canopy plus the pitot tube.

The area near the trailing edge if the landing flap is nothing to worry about either. The top part of the engine nacelle was riveted to the nacelle in that area. See e.g.

or

So, what else? A shot taken of a similar (not the same!) angle as a later shot of another Me 262? Not that uncommon. I have probably a dozen others I could offer that were taken from the same angle. That doesn’t make the photo a fake.

You have not convinced me. Sorry.
