Title: Finnish Bf 109 G2
Post by: kanttori on April 25, 2004, 08:08:50 PM

This is Finnish G2 (Ilmari "Illu" Juutilainen's MT-222) as it should be with the right colours and camouflage, signs in the right places etc. The blue swastikas has now the right 1-3-5 ratios, too. I have also repaired the panel lines on the front fuselage.

Here's a perfect preference profile picture by the Finnish artist Manninen:

As you can see the "yellow two" is not enough big because of the skin file, there is not enough room to it... also MT-222 text is not in the right place for the same reason...

And here's a good photo:

I have also added to the instrument panel some original buttons and markings here and there:

beautiful skin there.  Great job.  I have one question though:  is the white axis marking htat is used on the Ju88 and a few others supposed to be visible through the top layer?

Yes, the markings (Balkenkreuzes) are there on a purpose.

Great job, Kanttori, looking good! :)

Beautiful work, Kanttori!

HTC, any chance to make this the default skin for the AH 109G-2?

Yes, it is correct. The planes were flown to Finland in German markings. After that the German markings were over-painted and the Finnish markings were painted on the planes.  Many times the new paint didnt cover the old markings perfectly, so the Balkenkreuzes were visible through the paint.

Here's a picture of MT:s 215, 205 and 212 on their way to Finland:

you've done it very nice ... good job. I've done the Swiss 109 and added some missin elements on the fuselage.

Look at the "print" you've posted. There are 2 small bulgs on the front part of the engine. If you want to add them give me your e-mail and i'll send you the Photoshop file (with layers). There you can extract them into yours .... only if you're interessted in.

Cheers, airmess

I've just sent your the files with the gridlines, elements etc. It's a 109G-6 template and it's maybe not fitting 100% on the G2. Take out of those files what is usefull for you.

Cya

Thank you airmess, they were perfect! I made only couple of little adjustments and that's it. You can look the result from the updated pictures above!;)

My next project is Finnish 109 G6, so I need your templates very much when creating it!

This one?

:)

I am working on another G-6 myself, JG 1. Not ready for pics yet.

The G-2 looks great...

Hehe Batz, that's the one we considered because of the tactical number. But the segmented spinner can't be done. :(

So I think Kanttori will do another one, pics will follow... ;)

Looking forward of seeing your new skin. :)
