|  Do 335 - An Unusual Camo
Can you help me identify this Do 335? Concerning that there was only a few (around 90) Pfeils built, could this may be a phantasized camo? 
Thanks for helping! |

Country:  | I've never seen that cammo pattern where the tiger stripe didn't end with Dark Green/Medium Green on top and fade into stippling as it worked down towards the typical blue-grey on the bottom.

Country: | Pisis it is total bogus ! it would of been overall dark greens with RLM 76 undersides which would of been light grey with a touch of blue. the props are dark black-green not this funny white/red. the Welle pattern or sphagetti camo shown is not true

After its restoration by Dornier in 1975 the aircraft was loaned to the DM until returned to the USA in 1986. It is currently displayed at the NASM's Udvar-Hazy Center.

When I was at the Udvar-Hazy Center last year it was not on display there.

Country: | Yes he is a Hungarian immigrant and he is Chairman and CEO of Lease Finance Corporation (ILFC), which is one of the two largest aircraft lessors in the world. He is also the 83rd riches man in the world worth 3.1 Billion dollars.
The center is named after him because he gave the National Air and Space Museum a $65 million grant that allowed to them to build it.
