The interupter gear for the cowling guns would have to be some fantastic bit of engineering.

The MG 151/20 was electrically cocked and used electrical ignition rather than a percussive firing pin.
In the wing-root installation used on the FW 190, the two MG 151/20  were synchronized to fire through
the propeller arc.

The 13mm MG 131 also used electrical ignition.

I'd stick to taildragger to avoid it looking too similar to the Me-309. Besides, the nose will be fairly cramped as it is with the engine.

Re colour scheme, I'd probably go with something similar like the late war Ta-152s with simplified markings, e.g.:

Great so far!

Re camouflage, doesn't have to be German I suppose?  Israel operated the Avia S.199, but it was in a bland overall grey, how about the brown/blue camouflage worn on their Spits & Mustangs?
I don't think it's nice, you laughin'. You see, my mule don't like people laughin'. He gets the crazy idea you're laughin' at him. Now if you apologize, like I know you're going to, I might convince him that you really didn't mean it.
