Hi,
I have been a bit late in getting the dedicated FSX ME-262 package from Flight Replicas, but I did enjoy the the first FS9 pack a lot in the past. The twin seat Me-262 really changed my mind, as I’m very interested in recreating the first twin seater build by the ME-262 project in the <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" /><st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">US</st1:place></st1:country-region>. BTW, I really recommend the book “Project Me-262 – the test pilots journal” by Wolf Czaia which brings a very interesting view of the mammoth task of researching, building and getting the Me-262 back in the air, over 50 years since the type last flew. They are housed at Paine Field, <st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Everett</st1:place></st1:City> not far from the Boeing plant. Actually the team is more or less all former Boeing people and in the local press it has for fun been called the Boeing 262.

The new 262’s have been approval by the Messerschmitt Foundation in Germany and have actually got its own official Messerschmitt Me-262 “c”suffix (refers to the new J-85 powerplant) and Werk Nummer’s follwing the wartime build series.
<o:p> </o:p>
For some time ago I repainted the second of the new 262’s; single seater ME-262 A-1c D-IMTT and it is available here at the SoH. With the new B model it is possible to make the first of the new aircraft; Me-262 B-1c “White 1” W.nr 501241 (N262AZ) which made the famous first flight in December 2002 flown by Wolf Czaia.
<o:p> </o:p>
As far as my Me-262 wartime history knowledge goes, I recon it must have been painted in a scheme resembling the single seat Me-262 A-1a flown by Maj. Rudolf Sinner from Stab III/JG 7 during March 1945.
The wartime pilots looks a bit out of place for this repaint, but that's only a small detail :)
