Stab JG54 109F4
« on: December 08, 2013, 10:38:34 PM »
Flown by Major Hannes Trautloft, Stab/JG54, Siverskaya/USSR, January 1942











(Fixes : Fixed the shading of the shaders on the elevators and rudders. Also fixed the little HUB near the engine where it is green, changed it to RLM21 as it should be. Also decreased the transparency on the dirt and oil spots as I thought they were too strong.)

It is amazing what you catch after you take screenshots of the aircraft.

Sorry to say this Ratio, but although your skins are nice, the panel lines look too dark.

I personally like the strong panel line line look.  It's all a matter of taste. :salute

 :lol  Yeah indeed.

Looks ridiculous.

Where the heck are you coming up with Green Stab markings?  JG54 Stab is White.  Every wartime photo of this bird shows white just like every other Stab JG54 ride.

Please post your source material.

EDIT: Please don't direct me here: http://luftwaffeinprofile.se/Hannes%20Trautloft.html

That's not a source.  Another example of using someone else's fictitious profile pack instead of real war time photo's.

Looks good, but like your winter G-6, you continued the whitewash under the aircraft. 109F's in Jg 54 came with factory schemes of either RLM 70,71,65 or 74,75,76. The whitewash was applied to the top and sides of aircraft leaving the base visible on bottom, as well as around the canopy. See this picture of this aircraft.

See, pic above. Stab markings match the green shade of the heart emblem.

I did what you said with the Mottling but it just looks the same, I am not understanding what you are telling me to do. Actually really confused, cause when I did it I noticed it looks exactly like the G-6 and I don't know how to make it as if you are asking me to.

EDIT : I used the same image from the history book that I have.

Devil...that's black not green.

Whitewash Stab always went from White to Black.  It's not going to show the same shade as the Balkenkreuz, which is original, and not applied over whitewash.

If it were black wouldn't it match the color of the iron cross black?
