Nope. It's Tango Tango (Werk Nummer 501244), one of five new Me 262s that are being built with the blessing of Messerschmitt in the US. They're incredibly authentic and they've actually been assigned work numbers from 1945. J-85 engines are being used because Jumo 004s would be too unreliable but they are mounted inside castings of the original engine so as to look authentic.

Check out the project here...

Cheers, Neilster
