Corgi Aviation Archive Legends Series AA35701
Messerschmitt Me 262A Diecast Model
Luftwaffe JV 44, "White 3", Adolf Galland, Munich-Riem, Germany, 1945

Without question, Adolf Galland was the most famous Me-262 pilot of them all but the decoration on the machine he flew remains in question. The closest evidence we have to factual is an illustration that was checked and amended by Galland himself. He remained adamant that his aircraft did not carry a Kommodore's horizontal bars but simply wore a "White 3" in the usual location ahead of the fuselage Balkenkreuz as depicted on this model. Other sources place the 3 on the forward fuselage but without photographic evidence it remains unproven as to which is correct.

The Collectors View.

Corgi was the first to do the Me 262 in 1/72 diecast. The first edition was a Legends version but the choice of pilot was the very well known Adolf Galland. Great choice! Great looking model with the fixed down u/c of the Legends range. Although the Legends range was intended as a cheaper alternative to the Corgi Aviation Archive range it nows retails for the same price as the AA range in some markets.
