Source for Markings for JV 44 262s?

[Citadelgrad]

Hi all.   I am struggling through my first as an adult LSP, a P-47.  As I make progress, I am planning builds down the road.  I have a Hasegawa FW 190 D9, and decided on JV 44 livery for it, and have already socked away a set of Montex masks that will let me model any one of the four.

I recently picked up a Revell 262a1, and am thinking it might be nice to put two JV 44 birds together.  I don't see a lot of marking options on ebay and google, of course Eaglecals does a Galland mount, which is not out of the question, but I don't see much else.  Normally my google fu is pretty decent, but I am not seeing a lot of options. 

 

Thanks!

The problem is that for the most part JV 44 markings for the 262 are rather simplistic.

Yeah, you got me there.  I just ordered https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1846032946/ref=ppx_od_dt_b_asin_title_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1, and it appears to be National insignia, a single number, and a swastika, over basically green upper paint.  

 

I may have to revisit this fantasy in my head.

And the occasional W.Nr., but that's about it! That late in the war no time to get fancy with markings given the situation.

It would be interesting to do some Jv 44 birds, but I think it was more a collection of planes and pilots, not assigned planes to pilots.  Hartmanns bird would look nice next to a 109, but would likely just be a camo'd 262 with a number on it.

There are a few options with this book, it's out of print, but might be able to pick it up, same with this one, white 5 is Eduard Schallmoser's aircraft.

Simplistic ME-262 or not you would still meet your goal of the two models from J 44 displayed side by side.  Galland was one of the core of the group

Good point.

Agreed.  I think Galland’s 262 is the way i will go.
