Title: 109G2 Cow skin?
Post by: Engine on April 12, 2007, 12:27:55 PM: Does anyone know what happened to that gorgeous cow skin for the G2? I'm hoping we'll see it again sometime in the future, because that skin was one of my absolute favorites!

Post by: Furball on April 12, 2007, 01:06:24 PM: it was remooved.

Title: 109G2 Cow skin?
Post by: Krusty on April 12, 2007, 02:59:45 PM: You mean the old one, white with cow spots?

That was lost when the 109s were remodeled. IMO I don't think it was a good skin, but if it was historically correct (?) there's nothing stopping folks from re-skinning it.

Nothing, that is, except good taste :t

I think that the person that remooved it deserves a big pat on the back.

Title: 109G2 Cow skin?
Post by: Engine on April 12, 2007, 11:36:18 PM: There. I'm glad we can all take the cow skin as seriously as I do, and appreciate the gravity of the situation. It was such a great skin that I'd like to see more of them made, for all sorts of planes. I won't be satisfied until I can fly a Cowgoon, a Cowjug, a Cow-84, and if we're really lucky, a Cow-Sherman.

To Krusty: Historically accurate? I'd like to see you prove there was no Cow Ki-84, or a Cowfire.

Husky: Sorry, I can't find any pictures of it, but I'll try to search the forums and find some for you.

Title: 109G2 Cow skin?
Post by: RTR on May 05, 2007, 10:07:58 AM: LOL, all kidding aside....

The winter camo skin for the 109G2 needs to be brought back. I thought it was a great skin. I used to use it exclusively in the AVA and MA.

TK if you are so inclined, I for one would appreciate it (I have no skills in that area).

cheers,
RTR

Let's try a direct link to the image itself:

Nope, that didn't work either. Stupid way to set up a page.

pretty much, but the patches were more blotchy, that one is semi-stripey
Title: 109G2 Cow skin?
Post by: Larry on May 10, 2007, 11:34:05 AM: I think I'll do the one I posted. I'm not that good with "blotchy" paint jobs. Do you think the underside white or gray I can really tell. Also is that gray on the wings to of jsut "shadows".
Title: 109G2 Cow skin?
Post by: Engine on May 10, 2007, 02:05:16 PM: NO. Blotchy plane or no plane!

One is a cow, and the other is a streaky freak-of-nature abomination. It's a fine line.

Title: 109G2 Cow skin?
Post by: Stang on May 15, 2007, 01:43:08 PM: TK if you look at the profiles it seems to me there is also grey colored camoflage as well as the black and white you have on the skin. Especially on top of the cowling.

Looks awesome though.

:aok
Title: 109G2 Cow skin?
Post by: Krusty on May 15, 2007, 01:55:45 PM: I don't think that's right...

It's just white with black. The "Is this it?" image you posted shows there's a normal camo underneath the white and black. If you look at the top-down view you can make out the standard splinter camo under neath the winter camo.

Another point: It's not very common for the LW to use black paint. Almost never. Probably it is some shade of Schwarzgrun or a dark green. The image you posted had the contrast turned up way high, so I wouldn't be surprised if it was supposed to be dark green but just looked black.

I'd like to see it without the solid white with black stripes. I'd like to see it as a standard camo with the temporary winter camo painted on top of it.

You asked a few posts below: It would probably be lichtblau underneath. Most winter camo left the undersides as-is. Winter camo was protection from being spotted from above. Undersides were already painted to help prevent detection from below, painting over that would be counter-productive.
