Done Me262A-1a ‘White 2’ ErprobungsKommando 262 Gruppe Build

Ok, while I'm not officially competing here is my contribution to the Gruppe Build...

Messerschmitt Me262A-1a ‘White 2’ W.Nr. 170071 Erprobungskommando 262

White 2 was an early production aircraft,camouflaged in RLM 74/75/76 Greys and photographed at different times with 2 and 4 gun nose ports…..mine will show the 2 Gun ports just to be slightly different from other Me262A-1a’s…..


"Erprobungskommando 262 (EKdo 262) was the first experimental operational development unit whose task it was to develop operational tactics for the Me262, by flying these "Defence of the Reich" operations the Me262 claimed the distinction of becoming the world’s first operational jet fighter."

Looking forward to this one Wayne! BTW, that's lovely box-art on that kit.
I think we need to do a 'round robin' to sort out the judging, I'll e-mail or PM you and all when my head is clear of this da*ned cold!
