Country:  | I see your point Adler. I can accept a modification here or there if it makes it better. For instance, if they had to modify the landing gear on a bf-109, I could understand that since it's gear was so weak.
I guess I'm just not that picky about it as others would be. I would be just as happy seeing a new FW-190 fly as I would a 1944 FW-190. But that's just me. |

Country:  | Yeah but look at this. I dont even think they should be allowed to call it a 109.

Country: | Exactly. For some reason I dont like that repro "109" at all.

One of the single-seaters was sold to the Messerschmitt Foundation in Germany, and will supposedly go on permanent display at their headquarters. Go here for more info on the Me-262 repro's, and information on the restoration of a couple of Me-109's found in Russia, and a Fw-190: STORMBIRDS.COM - Luftwaffe Resources | |

Country: | One of them flew over here in Germany at the airshow in Berlin. Was the first Me 262 to fly over Berlin since 1945. There was some footage of it posted here a while back.

Country:  | making the fuselage shell for a 109 is a big challenge, even for the experienced sheet metal worker of 2007.
Anyway, the CAD files you can buy on eBay now are FINALLY allowing you to skip the first step. You don't have to send out 100 emails anymore to get the accurate data on the fuselage form. I compared to the few copies I have with the dimensions for the sections and they match 99.9%!
The 3D igs files that are included are super too. Not immediately what you need for restorations but they prove the section drawings match. I'll try to post a screenshot but don't yet know how to do this...  | |

Country:  | Hi Stitch,
>too bad they couldn't have had a -51 or two fly "chase" (though they probably wouldn't have been able to keep up with the Schwalbe!).
They had a Mustang at the ILA, but it was grounded because it had lost its canopy on the flight to Berlin. Maybe without that accident, we'd have seen a Me 262/P-51 formation ... I wonder if there ever was one before?
