KG 54 Ju 88
« on: March 28, 2005, 10:11:17 AM »
I've submitted this skin to The Skin Department. It is a Ju 88 of 3/KG 54 painted in the Luftwaffe's wave pattern scheme. This was used on aircraft operating mainly over the sea.

This particular aircraft was hurriedly transferred from the Meditteranean to participate in Operation Steinbock, the Luftwaffe's last bombing offensive against Britain. It had its squadron insignia painted over in order to hide the transfer. On the night of April 18/19th 1944 it was damaged by flak over London and crash landed at RAF Bradwell Bay.

The profile shows the aircraft as it flew on its last mission, but I've skinned it in its Med scheme, with the insignia showing.
