Pretty much. I'm not sure about the yellow, but the camo, yes.

We even have a very similar setup in-game:

Other than its colors being just plain wrong, the plane number being different, the cammo layout being different, a different spinner layout, the Geschwader being different it is darn near identical!  :rofl

Killnu, let me know if you want me to do a K4 for ya.

I would love one.  I am looking for a JG52 K4...and Batz would be a good choice.  There are 2 profiles on that page above for a Batz K4.  I just do not have the library to know of those are accurate.  That page also has a Hartmann K4 profile on it and that has been discussed on here before...and the conclusion was that he never flew the K4....so the page is obviously not the best reference.  I understand that.  But...yes...a JG52 K4 would be great.  I like the yellow around the nose of both Batz profiles to give you an idea.  Something to make it stand out some.

I will do some digging and send you a few options.  Fair warning there is an A5 and another K4 in the queue..

I agree that nraven's skins have a lot of problems. However it was just an example. His splinter camo was wrong but he was obviously working off of a similar profile to start with.

Was merely trying to supplement my "yes it's basically historical" comment by saying "and we even have something like it in game".

I wasn't necessarily saying "We have it, don't bother" (in this case I'd in fact urge somebody to redo it!)

Aside from wrong camo patterns, I think a lot of Raven's mistakes were compounded by monkeying around with the materials file. His red tulip 109K wouldn't be HALF as bad without the blacklight glowing white effect it has. I ran into something similar when I edited my B-17 material file. I think NRaven just went to town, and that affected how his colors showed up in the end.

(meaning a color just a bit off will look horribly off with the wrong materials.txt file)

I'd like to see a few of his redone properly, though. He shared my taste for some of the more colorful skins.

I've just completed his JG 3 K4 and I submitted it this week, so with any luck it should be in the next skin pack.

Here is a progress shot. I can't remember how far along this is but it looks mostly done, so it'll do for this purpose. It's nice and dirty underneath too, as the photo I have of the aircraft shows.



Might as well put this here too, I submitted two K4s this week and this is the second:

That would be great.  Thank you.

Ok, so far nothing photo wise, but I am looking.  This is next on the list.  Then I gotta go American again for a B-25 for Dux's Desert terrain.

I got nothing photo wise for the plane(s) you were interested in.  Sorry.  :frown:

is there anything with yellow on the nose...similiar to that?  I am after some color on it that makes it stand out...and I like a splash of yellow.   :)  Really, anything similiar would be ok...it is more the look I am after.
