Re: Me 262 B3+AL Question

Hey Jim,

Thanks for your input. You know, I think I can see that slighter darker area behind the ring now that you've pointed it out. Interesting observation! I agree that the squiggly camo is similar to those early production Me 262 A2a's from KG 51 in those pics. Your theory sounds very plausible.
It's striking that the squiggles seem thicker and heavier on the empennage, especially starting from where the letter "L" is located. Elsewhere the squiggles appear much finer. As Claes's profile indicates, it looks like there might not be any squiggles on the engine nacelle of B3+AL. But from the lighting it's hard to see the delineation of the mottling.

Thank you for your insight, and for those links.

Best regards,
Jon
