"THE GREAT GAZOO"

JG 7 never had trainers. I'm into the historical accuracy bit and have since 1963. Very bad call on the original Seattle firm for this major goof up. The single seater as I said is in bogus camo.

I know what you mean, if you go this far to make a flying Me-262 replica, at least make it accurate! I thought you might of been speaking operationally; a single seat over a trainer. With these aircraft as an owner its probably advantageous to own the 2 seat version, at $300 - $500 for an ME-262 "Jet Orientation Ride" owning one of these could be a profitable business, but again, I would want mine painted historically accurate..
A STORY: When I lived in Palmdale, CA there is a small outdoor museum called "Blackbird Park," a tribute to the SR-71 which was flown out of Lockheed's facility located right down the road form this museum. The first two aircraft they got was a retired SR-71 and the single seat sister, the A-12. When the folks at the museum painted them, they got the paint schemes backwards, the SR-71 was painted up like a CIA spy plane, and the A-12 was painted black with "stars and bars." Everytime I drove by it would make me ill!
