Very nice cactus!

On think you might want to check is the dimension/proportions of the national insignias. They are a bit off in the defaul skin.

Nice cactus! JG7 will be well presented if all the 262 skins that currently are submitted will get accepted!

I really like your Ta152 work, but I'm not sure about the RLM81&82 on this bird.

Regards,

Didn't someone else call out that they were doing this back when the 262s came out?  I am pretty sure they did as I was looking at doing it myself.

Which brings the question I have asked before up, just what is the cut off for calling a skin and not producing it?

Nicely done though.

I noticed that and modified them. I will check them again though.

If there are accepted colors for these late-war LW paints I'd love to see them. I keep finding them either like in the picture you posted, or closer to how I have it here. As for this particular plane, every profile, picture, painting, and model I have shows it closer to how I made it. It's also the same 82 I used in the 152s. :)

Now that you mention it, I completely forgot to search the forums to see if anyone had claimed it in the past.

If someone has been working on this plane, speak up and I will scrap this.

I think Larry & some one else was involved with that 262 in question.

Gosh don't throw away a great skin without checking with them.   Maybe they stopped working on it and never released their "call" on it.

I had originally claimed it, but due to a lack of free time and RL intervening I have been unable to find time work on it in the past few months and I'm terribly sorry for "claiming" it for so long. I have to say it looks absolutely fantastic Cactus  :aok
