For the newest Geschwader...

[Motherland]

For Vanscrew's new AvA squad, JG77. This particular bird is from II./JG77.






117 kills (113 of which were scored in this A/C-)











<S> to the newest Geschwader!


Almost ready for submission, as well as two other skins I have. Just a question.
One, for the areas outlining the base of the wing, and on the flap above the radiator, what should those say?

and two, should I put all of these in a folder, in that folder three more folders, with 1 folder named 109F4, with the files for this skin in it, the next two named 109G6, with the files for that skin in it, or should I send them all seperately?

Looks good mate. I'd smooth out those scratches a little though... They look too much like digital scribles. feather them out a little... drop the opacity a little... then they start looking more like real scratches.

Other than that, it's looking nice.

I also found these images in another thread here.... perfect for what you need.

That link contains photos of a museum based 109G10 with great close-up shots of most of the warnings on the 109.

'Nicht betreten' etc.

I'd take out most of the scratches altogether. The 109Fs were either newly painted or freshly painted (in the field) and well maintained. The LW paint was a high quality cellulose based paint with a very smooth finish, and was not as prone to chipping or flaking as some other countries' paints.

On top of that, ground crews kept the 109s in top working condition (it's also a morale thing) up until the end of the war when paint maintainence started suffering.

P.S. If they say anything on the flaps, it would be basically "nicht betretten" or "nicht anfassen" -- basically "no touchy!" However, if the aircraft was repainted you wouldn't have any markings, stencils, or wing walk areas. Only the factory fresh planes had these, and they were not replaced when paint was touched up later on.

P.P.S. Send each skin as a separate submission, in a separate e-mail. They will each get their own reference code.

Final look over before submission... I have two more that are almost ready, not 100% though.

Looking good mate.

Your upper cowling camo looks a pixel short at the prop hub on both of the grey skins.

Are you sure that Italian 109 had Italian markings on the wings? I seem to recall reading that they often left the crosses there. I'm not sure about this aircraft, though, and that may well have been only for the undersides of the wings too.

Anyway, looking good.

The lower wings definately had them, according to the profile. I have no way to be sure about the upper wings though.
