Bf109-E4B Skin for Leutnant Steindl II.JG54

[Helrza]

for sure cheese, ill be more than happy to do that for ya I wont be able to do it thou till next weekend thou now, my teachers were nice enough to give me 2 assignments that i had to complete over the weekend, on top of studying for 2 tests this week, so i wasnt able to get round to fixing the errors with it either.

Also, sorry for my ignorance, but wat u mean by HK?

Hakenkreuz AKA Swastika.

For historical accuracy I presume

Hi Helzra,
I have to add a couple of things too, to make your goodlooking skin even better.
First get rid of that stencil from the lower cowling!
(totaly unhistorical for the E type! FYI, it was used from F type on and was placed only on the port side).

Considering that the plane was delivered in field with standard factory high demarcation camo scheme I doubt that the fuselage upper sides were finished only in RLM 75, even in a later state...

Not sure on the 109's but on the RAF aircraft stencils are hardcoded so you can't remove them.

Thanks for that Helzra!

I find the hard coded stencils to be a problem, especially on the 109s,
because they may look fine on factory fresh machines,
but not at all accurate on field modified camos like in this one.
All the later camo layers including the yellow identification areas should cover the stencils, as period photo documentation reveals,
something that's now impossible in game, in the way the stencils are hadcoded!

sorry i aint finished the skin guys, ive been flat out at work, and on my one day off ive had to do stuff round the house. But ive fixed the camo and other small things on the sides, just gotta do the camo on the top and she'll be ready to go

Thanks for the update Helzra!
Really looking forward to the finalized version of this beautiful skin!

[Helrza]

thanks for the input guys cowling stencil will be gone the 109's have them to kristof, but i added that one... Explains why it didnt have one in the 1st place as fpr the upper camo, that'll get sorted to. Gonna fix it according to db605's pics. The way its skinnned now is based on another colour pic i had, but i think the one here is most deffinitlyy the real scheme.
