Re: Me 262 A-1a / U4 W.Nr. 170083, "V083" camouflage

Hi Milos,

we are not far apart, not? Let me show you some of my observations.

this is the photo I mean, when V083 was just captured and assigned to 54th ADSq:

Maybe an even earlier one:

Look at the front fuselage. You will see, that the two green values are actualy very, very close. The same would very likely also apply to the wings. Also the the lower 2/3 of the fuselage are sprayed very unevenly as in the opacity and the genneral evenness. It looks like an oversprayed mottle. This part will ofcourse not be visible on the wings.
The engines also show a two tone application.



Here is the best representation, I found so far from a model plane and pretty much shows what I mean:

Although, I'm not so convinced by the lower fuselage part, as it is in IMO it there still too even.


Do we agree?
