Author Topic: Could somebody skin this? (Read 483 times)

For little me?

I suck at skinning my self.

This is IMO the coolest looking Dora I've seen.

This picture I stole from the internet, if anybody accepts this great mission I can scan the whole color sheme for you (got the modell kit).

Please

Ps. The text on the side reads "Verkauft Mei Gewand ich fahr in himmel" which basicly (afaik) means "Sold my clothes I'm going to heaven".

You cant get the underside done correctly because the texture is stretched. Bullethead and another guy already attempted versions. Do a search.

JV44 Platzschutzstaffel was usually refferred to as "The Würger-Staffel" or the "Sachsenbergschwarm".

"Papageien (Parrots) Staffel" was a post war myth.

Why is the "1" blue? Is there a blau group in addition to the rot one? Wasn't JV44's rot 1 the "sell my underwear i'm going to heaven" one?

that box cover is incredibly inaccurate.

Thanks Batz.

Yeah this kit must suck badly when it comes to information accuracy.

Do you have any more info about them? Books?

If you can find this book, it has everything you need to know. Unfortunatley iit is sold out from Eagle and currently out of print. You might find a used copy.

Try JV44-The Galland Circus, by Robert Forsythe.

Some good profile/drawings of the 190s as well as good photo coverage.
