Killer skin.  Love that yellow.  (Gelbe!)

I concur.  My exact thought.

Bf 109G-6 Flown by Gerhard Barkhorn of Stab.II/Jg 52. He scored his 150th victory in this plane on August 8, 1943.

Impressive!  Love the stepped camo look on the wing tops.  I don't think I'e ever seen that before...

That's the standard pattern for 109F's and G's built at the Erla factory. The 3 plants that built 109's each had their own distinct camouflage pattern.

Bf 109E of 9./Jg 26. This is a complete redo of my very first Emil skin - from 9 years ago. The most notable change will be in the color of the squadron emblem below the canopy. At the time I made the original skin, most reference seemed to indicate that the emblem was red, but new photos reveal that in the summer of 1940, the emblem was black with red trim. The red emblem was only seen pre-1940 on the all green 109's and on a couple of 109F's in 1941.

Bf 109G-14 of 9./Jg 54 in the spring of 1944. I wasn't happy with the light colored markings and lower camouflage which all glowed in the sunlight. Also took the opportunity to change the wing camouflage pattern to one more typical to a late G-6 and not a G-14.
