Nice :aok
-
Alrdy been done.

Was I different though I saw only Rote1 and 3?:confused:
-
Why make a 3rd skin that looks the same as the others?
-
Skinner of Pony are making a lot of skin of the same externals. :p
It is regrettable that the evaluation is not good though it is thought that there is a viewpoint like the stripe in the nose etc.
-
I say submit it. No other Jv44 has such well-made belly stripes! That's a shoe-in for acceptance!
PS, nice trouble shooting on the stretching :)
-
isnt it Red 1 not 13? or is it a diff plane?

Best1's colors are wrong.
@TAK: I'd add just a bit of overall weathering/sun wash, and it'd be perfect, as far as I can tell from the screens.
-
why did the LW painted the plane in red?
-
Imho making more then one almost identical skins is a waste of the 15 slots we have.
Though its a fantasticly well made and nice skin.

Overall good but why are the white line under the tail so blurry ?
-
I changed Skin referring to found material and photograph.

Skin in an upper and lower body is transforming very much.
Therefore, this skin's stripe is not beautifully displayed.
-
underwing and undertail textures aren't mapped from the same angle, hence the different stretching (or lack of).
The red and white underside was for recognition by the friendly AAA. They must have flown a lot more around them, or carried precious cargo, or said cargo was esteemed enough to be allowed to have matching carriage underpaint and silk stockings, or any combination of the three.
-
the JV44 was the escort squadron for the 262's landing and taking off.
the AA gunners would woudl shoot at the planes nearby because most 262's were "cherry picked" on the dnagerous landing and take off where they could not manuever.
the 190 escort squadron took these colors, so they could be easily identified and not shot at.
-
JB I think the colors stemmed from ground attack roles, and that the escorting was secondary. If you're going to escort/cover 262s taking off you're not going to be on the ground with them. You're going to be in the air already, circling for enemy cons.

yes, i guess i didn't phrase it well...
they would be in the air circling, and keeping the 262's clear.
the 262's also flew over batteries of AA guns, that would try and kill p51's that were swooping down on the 262's
the red bellies came about because when the pony swooped in, and the 190 behind it to kill it, the AA gunners originally fired at both planes thinking 2 p51's were swooping in.
it happened pretty quickly, like less than a few weeks of 262 escort and they painted the bellies
-
I think the paint was for ground attack purposes though. Throughout the war lots of things have been added to prevent friendly fire. Towards the end they just came up with the most blatantly bright colors the could think of.
-
well if you are doing ground attack, would you want bright colors identifing you as an enemy?
i just have never read that. granted i dont have a ton of resources on the JV44 other than the 1 book, that's what i know of the white bottom with the red stripes. (yes that's what i have read, it was really the red that was painted on as the stripes, even though the white is much thinner.) it is really odd they'd do it that way, but whatever lol why waste all that white paint only to go over it with red? lol

Please download this skin when it is good. :)

Krusty JB73 is right JV44 covers the Me262s on takeoff and landing so allied pilots wouldnt vulch the 262s like that nasty vulcher yeager did. they painted thier bellys bright red and white so that the AAA wouldnt mistake them as enemys and shoot them down.
