Messerschmitt Bf 109 E-7/Z 1./JG26 'White 8' (W8+) Werk Nr 7677 Josef Priller France
 

Hi Ez it's Matthew
When I sent you the picture I checked with my Luftwaffe experts and it was white not yellow 8. The publications are not always right and I try verify information. Since my site www.asisbiz.com is being used as a reference site I'm constantly trying to add and correct errors.
Before you uploaded the skin please make it a white 8.
Thanks mate8:):):)

Messerschmitt Bf 109 E-7/Z 1./JG26 'White 8' (W8+) Werk Nr 7677 Josef Priller France late 1940

Photo Comments: Stab III./JG 26 White 8 Josef Priller [101] *JG26 showing early emblem. E-7 WNr.7677 and not Early 1940 but Late 1940. Priller was appointed Stfkpt of 1./JG 26 in November coming from 6./JG 51. Josef Priller came from 6./JG 51 then 1./JG 26 and then he went to III./JG 26 then Stab JG 26. The second picture is the same plane, also published in Prien 4.I, page 301, but the eagle has been painted over. You can see two hatches; one under the "8" the second just upper, in the middle of the "8". It is an E-7/Z.

PS I can't wait for this skin :grin:

Heh! I shall make it white.
Good to find out before the release, thanks.

PS.. I'll try not to keep you waiting too long.

Here are the markings "as is", transfered from the actual pic (minus the 8 ), and enhanced.

Still some green paint to mess around with.

Noticed the outline of the 8 wasn't quite dark enough, and the size of the heart was way off, so I went back to editing the skin, then back into the game to steal a screenshot, and then back to photoshop to do this pic once again...

Now I worry about what mottling it had, I'm not quite sure if that's what I'm seeing or not. Anyone care to speculate?

Keep up the good work JG26_EZ, and you'll eventually turn into the next Kristorf!

How could I possibly paint a plane that I plan on shooting down? ;)

If skinning was a buffet, I'd be in trouble...
I have an eleven skin project I'm thinking of doing..

This would be 4 of 11 (Still a WIP)
