Very nice! The paintwork is excellent. That color looks great on the Do335 as well.

Thanks mates. This grey color has been applied few days before the very first flight (under French colors), that occured in August the 8th of 1945. During this fligjt, the forward engine had a problem and the aircraft made an emergency landing. Damaged, the aircraft has been repaired and painted in green.
