Nice model, but the story is a fairy tale, isn't it?

http://www.xs4all.nl/~tozu/l46/L46-p-80.htm

BTW, was there an equivalent of the German "Circus Rosarius" on the Allied side, so Ju-88s etc. with U.S./British/ Soviet markings?

Maybe more for the modellers section.

Cheers,

Interesting site, thanks.

Did any German intact jet fighter made it into Allied hands before the war ended?

Cheers,

I think here´some Me 262´s

http://www.stormbirds.com/squadron/planes/planes.htm

and one He-162 the "white 23 "

http://www.airartnw.com/jetinterceptors.htm

Hs 132A was scheduled to have its first flight in June 1945, the wings and fuselage were never mated, and Russian forces captured the intact fuselage in May 1945.

http://www.luft46.com/henschel/hs132.html

NAtter

Fifteen were of the A-series, and four B-series aircraft. All were constructed at Waldsee. Still others were assembled by the Wolf Hirth glider factory. Four additional Ba 349s, possibly of the B-series, were captured at the end of the war by Allied forces near St. Leonhard, Austria.
