Luftwaffe Skin(s) by Matze81

JG26_EZ,

i have Schroers/Fw. Franz Elles skin from Tamiya 1/48 Me 109E-4/7 or a book called German Fighterplanes1939-1945 in coloured profiles from Claes Sundin and Christer Bergström. Schroer flew it only a few times, Fw. Franz Elles flew it more often than Schroer. I cant remember where i read or have it.

or have a look over here:

Here's another skin I'm working on:

It's a 109 E-4 flown by Hauptmann Max Dobislav in late spring 1941.

Still a work in progress (mainly general fine tuning and color adjustments)

Love the last pic that you put up of Black 8.

Now, to be a critic
Acknowledging the fact that the pic I have posted here is done by someone like you or I, years after the war, and isn't necessarily a 100% correct rendition. I think your yellow is a tad brighter than average. Was also wondering what your source for your colour scheme is, as this pic displays the same dude's plane, but with the "top coat" displayed (Brown or Gray and Green) on the top side of the fuselage. Personally, I think skins can look cool without the "top coat", but if you're trying for historical accuracy, then that might change things

I'm not yet satisfied with the colors, especially yellow. That's what I meant by "color adjustments" in my previous post. Unfortunately some colors seem to look quite different in game compared to what they look like when I'm working on them.

EZ, criticism is of course wanted and appreciated! My source and reference for the skin is "Wings Of Fame - Vol. 4". I don't have a scan of the page, but the mottling and the top coat in are in fact different from the picture you found on the Internet. The top coat in my book is just dark grey (barely visible in the first two pics, due to lighting) without any shades of brown.

Overall, still quite some adjustments to make!
