Looking good but not sure about the colour of the wheel hubs. I would say these should be black. However I might be wrong. And here another profile of the kite with a little different set of the camo colours. The pic source - the net...

Thanks for the profile. I went with what the instructions said but it is easily changed if need be. Can anyone else chip in here....what colour the wheel hubs should be?

Here another Me 262 A-2a (9K+YH) of the 1./KG(J) 51 at the airfield Rheine .The pics suggest dark (black) colour of the wheel hubs.

Excellent. I will make the corrections next time I head to the bench.

Refering to camouflage colours, the WNr 170096 belonged to very first of Me 262 series, when RLM74/75/76 scheme was appiled. The most known aircraft of this batch was WNr 170056 (V056) with FuG 218 radar antenas - the colour photos shown her in grey shades. IMHO the grey camouflage of 170096 was simply darkened with dark green spots.

rate of build is dependant on outside weather and with the start of air show related outings less than a week away it may slow down a bit. I do have a Voodoo in the stash.......

Nice start Jeff. I'd like to see a Voodoo!

Me too. No-one does a Voodoo like you do.

Decals made and dropped in the mail today Jeff.

Hope you have better luck than Dave (Totalize). I sent him some magnetos for his P-47 but he never got them.
