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.

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.
