Me262 (Avia S-92) WIP skins

[Tom_Weiss]

I've edited the excellent template done by ICDP - this is the base template with a lot of work still to be done

 

I'am going to be making US, UK, French and Soviet and Czechoslovak captured Me262

 

 

( the tail roundel orientation is mistakenly inverted )

Czechoslovak avias S-92 were not captured. No flyable Schwalbes left after war, all taken by russians and americans. Avias were build after war from remaining subcomponents put together from all of former Protectorate Böhmen u Mähren. It was possible to build them thanks to czech engineers working for germans during war , stealing part of the production documentation from factories producing subcomponents and JUMO engines repair facilities in Protectorate. Some of the missing info they curiously found in american Aviation magazine, which published detailed article about Schwalbe, including several drawings.

 Silver S-92 with fuselage nr. PL-01 (missing on screenshots) and red lightning never flew in such camouflage. It got it after it was turned into static teaching equippment in aviation school.

[Tom_Weiss]

correct

I've set the aluminum layer and edited the alpha layer so that there are no transparent areas , it is a pity that there are not many metallic Me262A, probably only the  Czechoslovak and a USAAF that would use it, the Czechoslovak in real life looks like it was painted in a light mint color in service.

[CUJO_1970]

[Tom_Weiss]

It's just Blue Oyster Cult's band logo, but round. Also the paint job is the same as in the V-40 you posted above.

[CUJO_1970]

sweet!

[Brano]

Czechoslovak roundels need to be corrected. On the vertical stabiliser, red is always facing down. On the wings it is always mirrored= red is facing towards fuselage from both wings, upper and bottom side.

[Tom_Weiss]

I edited it - thanks !

 

couldn't resist and started weathering it

 

• Drag files here to attach, or choose files...

As for reference, avias were painted according to LW color codification green/grey RLM 02.

[Tom_Weiss]

I am using this as a reference

 

I need a lighter color to work with at first as a darker one makes it more difficult to find details and areas that need to be fixed

[Brano]

V-36 had a nice Mickey Mouse character painted on the fuselage.

Hi Tom_Weiss,

I hope this will help you for your promising Avia S-92 :

There is that rumour that Czechoslovakia sold 3 or 4 such planes to Israel.

Edited June 23, 2019 by LernanRuss

[Tom_Weiss]

there were 6 single seaters and two two seaters in service, it was only a rumor that some ended up in IDF service , although I have from very reliable sources that in Il-2 Sturmovik, there is one, flown by Yoel Costa

 

based on a real life IAF 101 Sqn Spitfire MkIXe flown in 1952 by Yoel Costa

 

 

#36

 

#40

 

time permitting, I'll upload those three today ?

  Me-262 A-1a W.Nr.501232 is a single seater in USAAF markings.  This was one of the jets rounded up by Watson's Whizzers which was a special group that scoured Germany looking for cutting edge technology to ship back to the US for evaluation
