Requesting info about Me 262 red 34.

[dms340]

Goodevening from Greece!

I am currently building a Me 262A-1a in the 32nd scale. I came upon some pics from a A-1a/U3 where it was turned to a standard A-1a by changing the nose section. These pics were coming from a scrap yard, and it was clearly visible that the wing section was changed also, and they were unpainted. Problem is I cant find these photos again. Is there any of you that might help?

Thanks in advance for any kind of help!

I found a pic of "Red 33" that is exactly like your "Red 34" profile, lying nose down on a field. Will try to scan. No further info on the caption. from "Me 262: Arrow to the Future" by Walter J. Boyne

Do you mean thse images? If you do it seems that the plane wasn't the Red 34 but the Weiße 34 of the NaGr 6, Munich-Neubiberg, May 1945. The numbers were painted as the white outline only.

Interesting! Here is the pic I found in the book "Me 262: Arrow to the Future"....

Yep... I have seen a few other Me 262 with a such painted numbers.

Here next set of images I found via the net... in the third one it can be noticed it is the white outline only.

And the next Me 262s with numbers of white outline..

. You should create a thread in Modeling section / Your Completed Kits sub-one as well. I think all guys here are interested in watching of a such great work.
