Messerschmitt Me-262

This is my print of Franz Stigler who flew the Me-262 with JV44.
His Me-262 jet was not painted in any typical camouflage patterns. Franz flew a Me-262 painted in over all RLM75 gray.
Below is artworks of the Me-262 from other artist.
Heinz Bar was one of the first jet pilot aces.
This scan is from Osprey Luftwaffe Night Fighter Aces.
I can not remember where I got this profile from, a model conversion kit I think.
The copy is poor because it was made for a primitive Xerox machine.
A part of the copy was destroyed. As you can see, above there are two sets of wings. The set on the left was for "Red 11".
Red 11 was painted as the profile above but the undersurfaces was painted black which came up over the front edges of the wings.
Red 11 also had the jet engines painted black.
The wings on the left went to "Red 10".
