I haven't decided yet if I want to do an HE-111 skin, some of my squaddies are pressuring me to do it so I may do one. The only thing deterring me is the fact that the skins are going to be in the 2048x2048 texture size, which tends to completely destroy this POS computer.
Anyway, I just did a quick Google search on the HE-111 and came up with some skin designs that I thought I would share if anyone would like them. For the record I haven't done any research into these skins, that's up to you to do. Feel free to pick any of these if you want to skin them. If I do decide to make a skin, I will just pick from the ones that are left (if any are left :lol)

If anyone would like a link back to the images I've posted I can do that for you.
Edit: Here is a site that has a lot of paint schemes on file; http://wp.scn.ru/en/ww2/b/315/2/0 (http://wp.scn.ru/en/ww2/b/315/2/0)

After a lot of pressure from my squaddies (one of them practically begging), I've decided to do one night bomber skin, and one "Arctic" skin.

Night bomber (in order of preference)s:
(http://img.wp.scn.ru/camms/ar/315/pics/2_77.jpg)
This one has me a bit concerned since it has no tail markings. I don't think it was an actual paint scheme.
(http://img.wp.scn.ru/camms/ar/315/pics/2_14.jpg)
(http://img.wp.scn.ru/camms/ar/315/pics/2_66.jpg)
While this one looks really cool, again I don't think it was actually used.

I've finished skinning the bird below, and I'm about done with a tan desert scheme bird.

I saw the desert scheme, I thought it looked pretty cool but it wasn't really my kind of skin.
Since the two eastern front skins that I posted are the same, I guess that I'll be doing that one. As for the night bomber I have settled on my first choice... unless cactus has another in the works. :noid

Everyone else, grab a skin quick before cactuskooler takes them all! :D

He-111s aren't all the same. Even assuming we get abit of a hybrid, it seems to be a 1940 version primarily, with H-3 equivelant armaments. Even if, on the outside chance, it's a later H-6 variant, the variants that all came later had more and more engine power, armament, and armor, as well as different bombloads. For example you'll note the very late versions had a round rotating turret on top instead of the sliding hood.
You might want to at least stick to the H-1 through H-6 range. I say this because you've got profiles of H-16s and H-22s in the mix. EDIT: Add the P-series to that list, too. He-111Ps were similar to earlier He-111H models and seem to be a good fit for our BOB-era bomber.

Hey guys, I'm thinking of giving at least one He 111 skin a shot. The one that caught my eye was this one:
(http://i190.photobucket.com/albums/z238/bigmacleod01/12_1_b2_zpsa591b28d.jpg)
Romanian, Grupul 5 Corpul 1. However I have googled it an no other information has come up. Anyone got any further info on this bird? Quite a striking colour scheme.
Any information (Looking mainly at you Lyric, you seem to own the entire Imperial War Museam with your sources) and/or pictures of this bird would be much appreciated.

Here you go.

This profile is wrong they only put the markings down the left side only from what I have read.

Don't know it was shot down near Dunkirk in May 1940.

Email received, my skins are a go for production! :rock

I would be careful with some of those profiles. They're a tad "too" colorful....
Just going by the photos, THIS seems much more reasonable:
(http://i1002.photobucket.com/albums/af142/barneybolac/heinkle%20he%20111/He111_copy_zps71cd1fa5.jpg)
than this over-saturated, overly-bright, profile:

Can't wait to see your work! It will be a great addition!

purty Cactus

Love it Cactus! :aok

That is a very cool skin, cactus. I hope to be able to use it soon! :aok

CACTUS! You nearly gave me a heart attack! :eek:
Here I am, getting started on my 111 skins and you throw one up that looks just like it! I had to do a double take to be sure.
On the other hand, it looks amazing. :aok

On the first page of this thread, Lyric's favourite plane the KG54 with the bunny rabbit on the fin. The profile has a red B, yet the photo below it, to me, show's a yellow B. Would anyone be able to shed light on why the too would be so different? Am I colour blind, is the yellow in fact red?
Appreciate any input.
-
You are not color blind, they are different. The first is the artists rendition, the second is an actual photo. In a situation like this I'm going to say trust the photo.

It is a red B.
The colour quality is faded on the aircraft. From what I found on the threads where I got the information this question was bought up as well yellow or red. Now the skull is clearly white in the photo not yellow like the decals show. Also only one side has the letter E not both sides of the plane.
-
Thanks for the replies guys.
Lyric, so the skull should be yellow?
Just playing devils advocate here, if the B is red, and the photo faded as suggested wouldn't it fade to a pinkish colour?
Also the E seems to me to be a partially over painted B, I base this on the fact that the squadron code is B3.
Thanks for the info.

I would have to dig about for the link but the skulls are white from what I remember. There was a lot of debate as to if the colour quality of the film & if it was really up to scratch as well.
The first profile I posted is supposed to be correct.
You right had not noticed it was a cut off B.
Few links on the Skull nose art from this unit it looks like they may have used yellow & white based off of the black & white pictures & this last one in colour some dark shade.?
