i just downloaded this super-plane, thisone is VB's ME-262A-1 nightfighter version, G-Max
model with full moving parts, rolling wheels and opening canopy. i got it from AvHistory,
so it flies like that real thing (theoretically ::) ) so anyway, here are the pix:

to condense the atmosphere of your shots, i suggest using german instead of klingonian.;)

Kaplah  = Erfolg.
Petargh = verdammt!
