Here is the original skins:

Yes, I understand that. I understand that they are in the wrong place. I am wondering why, and if it is that way for everyone.

Skin squad MK-Machines Killers!

I downloaded a few skins today, fantastic work by the community! If I had photoshop on my new machine I'd try making some of my own, I don't get on with GIMP at all.

Skin request: E1 (III/JG 52)
 

Hi,

would someone kind enough to make me this skin? :grin:
I'd do it myself but I am unfortunately a noob in skinning. :(

*Edit*

A fair amount of work to do yet, but this is where she stands at the moment (2nd one down).
As you can see, there are many variations out there.. I chose the one that you gave, but used brown and green for the base colours.

Nice Work :grin:

The difficult part of the skin, the strip


I have here an alternatively image (from Wikipedia)
Do not know whether this is historically correct, but still a skin

Here are the airplane color (from the engine towards the rear)
Very nice to strip the dark purple hamoniert especially with the green. :grin:

However, the stripes are painted very badly. :(

The (dark) green Plane also look very nice! (Screen two 4 Plane)

To paint many thanks for your time this Skin :mrgreen: :D

Here it is.. take a look and let me know what you think..
Those damn stripes are quite hard to work with around the 3d objects on the fuselage.

The little things that bother me.
Blue: High (Strong shifts.)
Orange/Green: Medium (Some strips are too short.)

Otherwise Very well done!

I have a Question:
How can they save in lossless JPG?
you are converting it first to (PNG, BMP, TGA?)

I use PSP9. When I attempt to save as a JPEG, it gives 3 different options. Saving as lossless is one of those options.

The orange stripes, indicating that my stripes are too long..
- the reason they have been shortened a bit, is to smooth the transition from sides to bottom.

The green stripes, indicating my stripes are too long..
- I tapered those off because it looked better (to me) to have the lines end, opposed to slipping under the paint of the wing.

The paint near engine was very tricky. The stripes are forced to bend when it appears on the aircraft.

The tail... I see that I should have left the area under the wing blank.

I will slowly try to edit it these problems, but can't make any promises.
