Country: | Good stuff, Syscom. I was so focused on what was going on outside, I totally forgot about all the good stuff they have inside as well.

Country: | ok the He 162 of I./Jg 1 looks close enough, trying to match exact camo and markings will be impossible in this day and age due to contrasting pigmentation, besdies colour pics of WW 2 though keen and unique just plain suck for usual clarity.
Me 163 Komet of 1./JG 400 looks nice, the flea marking usually was pulled off late war in 45 when the JG 400 overall was on a constant move westward from the Soviets. I gruppe the most experienced while II. gruppe was in most testing and moving from field to field. 12 kills total for JG 400 which really did not warrant the JG to even be in existance, several notables of the rocket interceptor unit went over to Me 262A JG 7 in 1945 . . .
stunning photos gentlemen !

Country:  | Excellent shots there sys and even.
The only one that makes me want to puke is the P-51 with the jelly bellys on it. Damn it that is just wrong, I dont give a damn if you have to have a sponser these damn companies need to realize they are ruining something.

Country: | well it does have a lot of novelty value and isn't it better to see her flying in those colours than not flying at all?

Country: | There is sponsorship with a logo, then there is overdoing it, IMO. They went way over the line of overdoing it.

Country: | I agree, theres nothing wrong with putting a small logo that does not cover the whole aircraft but that is overdoing it.
