109F of II.JG54
« on: January 20, 2007, 12:42:15 PM »
I submitted this the other day. Normally I post a thread and wait for feedback, but I wanted to get it in on time for the next skin pack, and the deadline was 5PM CST yesterday. This is just a look at a skin that's been submitted but you haven't seen yet.

Remember I did a somewhat similar skin a while ago, only with a large yellow nose, a yellow rudder, and over-sized yellow wingtips? I always wanted to do another with the same side camo but without as much yellow.

Note that the camo has been redone from scratch to match the new aircraft it was modeled after. I have 2 war-time photos and a couple of other references that seem to match the photos, so it's not as if I recycled the old skin.

Nice skin Krusty, that's a really interesting looking colour scheme.

I did something a little similar in the 5/JG54 skin already in the game, but I wasn't fully happy with the way it looked. I've seen photos and seen a lot of different ways of doing it on various model kits, and I think I was closer to the real look and feel on this skin than on the skin already in the game.

CRAP!!!

Looked at a screenshot I'm putting together for a webpage, and realized I forgot to turn a layer on that shades the control surfaces!!!!!

Dadburnit. It's already in the queue, I'll wait to see if it's accepted first *then* resubmit with this correction. It really hurts 109s when you can't tell the rudder from the stab.


EDIT: That's what you get when you rush a skin, but I'm shocked nobody noticed it before me! (also, picture hangar is down right now, so I'll attach a pic to show what I mean).
