Looks like the front end of the Me.262 is original.

Yes it is. At least that is what the translated page states.

On the subject of replicas.....this one is local and made me curious.
The Military Aviation Museum in Virginia has a cool old real German Cottbus hangar that was brought over from Germany.
It has a lot of cool replicas including some oddball prototypes.
One of them is a BMW TLJ-2 jet fighter concept.....which seems to have an original piece of metal on it!
Their site states built in Germany and arriving at the museum in 2015.
Anyone knows the story???? Original part?????
If the case that would be very cool...since I was under the impression it was only just ever a paper concept.

I once talked to a person who, when that person was young interviewed Adolf Galland (who if my memory is correct, lived in the neighborhood). My colleague and some friends had a book of German aircraft which they leafed through, in the presence of Galland. On the page for this or a similar aircraft (actually, the FW Ta.283 is I think the aircraft of his memory) Galland said something like: "Yes, that airplane was actually built, I saw it in a hangar before the end of the war".
This, being third- (or fourth-) hand, does not count much as evidence, but I have always wondered about this. No book that I know of states that aircraft to have actually been built, but I am sure that there is much that we do not know. All was very secret at the time, and much was destroyed before any Allied soldiers got there...
I am glad to finally be able to report this. By the way, the "BMW TLJ-2" jet fighter is not familiar to me, but is similar to the Me.1011 (which was actually built, and taken to the US), and the FW Ta.183.

If I remember correctly, Rechlin was the research and development location for Geemany, before and during WW-II

It would be a lot classier to call them "german designs" instead of replicas. Some of them are real and all of them have some original parts when they were able to incorporate them. Lots of hard work and money spent.

I'm sure some very interesting bits and pieces could be found if there were no objections to safely explore some of the underground factories and known aircraft dumps.
