AIMS | 32D013: Messerschmitt Me 262 A-1a/U3 Decals
Reviewed by Andrew Birnie
Complementing their Me 262A-1a/U3 conversion comes this decal sheet from AIMS with nine options:
Wk-Nr. 500257/"White 2" of 1./NAG 1, Zerbst, April 1945.
Wk-Nr. 110513?/"White 3" of Kommando Braunegg, Eger or Lechfeld, April 1945 - this aircraft featured the early camera fairings.
- Wk-Nr. 500453?/"White 25" of 1./NAG 6, Lechfeld, April 1945.
- Wk-Nr. 500100?/"White 26" of 1./NAG 6, Lechfeld, April 1945.
- Wk-Nr. 500098/"White 27" of 1./NAG 6, Lechfeld, April 1945.
- Wk-Nr. 500853/"White 29" of 1./NAG 6, Lechfeld, April 1945.
- Wk-Nr. 500...?/"White 30" of 1./NAG 6, Lechfeld, April 1945.
- Wk-Nr. 500539/"White 33" of 1./NAG 6, Lechfeld, April 1945.
- Wk-Nr. ?/"White 34" of III./EJG 2, Lechfeld, April 1945. This aircraft featured the standard fighter nose.
The decals, printed by Fantasy Printshop, are nice and thin, also feature stencils for the instrument panel.
Available from AIMS.
I would recommend Osprey Combat Aircraft 83 - Me 262 Bomber and Reconnaissance Units, which features superb profiles of all the aircraft depicted, and many others.
