Here is another Eduard Me 262 1/144 scale I built, this time its the Me 262B-1a/U1 marked as ''red 12'' of 10./NJG 11 that was based at Schleswig in 1945.

Thank you again Mike,
Yes the Me 262B-1a/U1 nightfighters had a stencil applied swastika like you see on this model, there were other aircraft very late in the war that had stencil applied swastikas, I have seen photographs of at least one Bf 109 and Fw 190 that had this feature, both of these aircraft were recycled airframes and had some signs of repainting done to them which had covered up the original swastika.
