I might do Gallands 109 if I feel that I can bring something new, a little more accuracy or details overlooked by others. As It's been done so many times before I feel that It's important to think about it that way... Just like I did with Helmut Wicks E-4...

Today I uploaded three Bf109E-4's flown by Adolf Galland. The first is Wrk.Nr 5819 which was his main aircraft from September 1940 and into 1941. This is the same aircraft that Wotan posted a couple of days ago but my version is from a later date when the wingroot camopattern had been fixed.
The other two are variations of the same aircraft which is almost as much photographed as 5819 although I can't figure out the Wrk.Nr for this one although several are known... EDIT: Just re-upped 5819 as I realised that by the time the wingroot had been fixed, the rudder had been repainted along with the victorytally. It's fixed now... There might be changes coming to the other two as I just had a brainwave smile EDIT 2: I've been trying to identify the aicraft in the second and third shot below. It's been photographed enough to make me certain that it must have been Gallands main aircraft for quite some time so it's hard to understand how it's Wrk.Nr wouldn't be known. I then realised that the shots confirmed to show 5819 were all taken in late November 1940 or later although Galland is known to have flown it since September 7:th. It's also interesting to note that in early November Galland flew other aircraft for more than a week and I now believe that during that time, 5819 was taken away for an overhaul and given the new paintscheme as part of the process. So all those other photos show 5819 although in the scheme it wore during its early career. At least that's my theory!

There's more coming for Galland...
 I said I'd do some Galland skins if I could find out a little more than the usual and I sure did that... As for von Werra, I can't figure out how to get the spinner quite right as it's mapped in thirds while Werras is divided in fourths...

Another three Galland aircraft! It's amazing what you can learn when you sit down and study old well known material with a little patience and structure. The first skin depicts a quite unknown aircraft flown by Galland when he was first made Geschwaderkommodore in August 1940. This aircraft I learned about on the Luftwaffe Experten Message Boards so big thanks to the guys over there!
The second and third skin is Gallands Bf109E-7 that he flew in November 1940, a reserve aircraft used for a couple of weeks in November instead of his usual aircraft. Although documents only shows that he used it for a few weeks it seems that the engine-cowling had at least one re-paint and the aircraft was propably kept as his reserve for a longer period of time.
