Nice work on it too. :aok

So any kill markings or those on this particular aircraft?

Post by: Krusty on April 17, 2007, 05:34:41 PM: Dammit, Fencer, who gave you a English-Krusty/Krusty-English dictionary?? That was supposed to be kept locked up!

There might be something on the rudder. I've got to wait til I'm home so I can check my reference files.

Post by: Fencer51 on April 17, 2007, 06:23:17 PM: Sample of kill markings.
Title: 8/jg27 109g-2
Post by: Krusty on April 17, 2007, 06:50:20 PM: Werner Schroer's 109 had 60 on its tail (6 rows of 10).
Title: 8/jg27 109g-2
Post by: Krusty on April 17, 2007, 06:51:41 PM: And a different interpretation of his aircraft, same number of kills on the tail.

P.S. It's flown by Werner Schroer, in February of 1943, and was in 8./JG27

The previous image I attached (up 1) says "Hptm. Werner Schroer, Rhodes, Greece 1942" -- so I'm guessing he flew it for a while.

EDIT: I've got a handful of Bouchon (restored spanish 109 with different engine) pics that use this paint scheme, but neglect to include the killboard on the tail. If you're interested let me know.

Post by: Engine on April 17, 2007, 11:13:35 PM: Yeah, it's ok.

But it's no cow skin.
Title: 8/jg27 109g-2
Post by: Krusty on April 17, 2007, 11:18:01 PM: Thank cud it's not. Anyways, this is a million times better than "the cow skin". Much as I hate cro for taking it, I will definitely love to fly it in-game!

Post by: Xasthur on April 18, 2007, 12:36:06 AM: This is fantastic. Well done

~~Can't wait to give it a bash~~

Post by: croduh on April 18, 2007, 01:58:52 AM: Ok...(i read your mind Krusty:t )

Anyway, thanks Fencer for that pic.
About that weird marking on fuselage, there is a black or gray dot right next to it, but i couldn't get a detailed pic of it either, so if anyone has a pic of that dot...

Post by: Krusty on April 18, 2007, 08:13:51 AM: The dot's a hole. They stuck a shaft through the tail in one side out the other, and hoisted the tail off the ground. If you look on the default there should be one as well. Just get it as close as you can. It's on the panel line joint.

I agree.We need the Yellow 9 skin back.

Post by: Krusty on April 18, 2007, 09:27:01 AM: Cro, there's something you might not have noticed.

It's a problem with all 109s after the E.

You've got the prop colored, but THEN you have to go and also fill in a strip on the nose of each side (and on the parts under the nose and top of the nose (by the guns), because these are ALSO part of the spinning prop. You can make out on the screenshots that there's a strip of grey at the rear edge of the prop, but clearly on the prop.

You need to make sure the entire prop is the "proper" color.

Post by: croduh on April 18, 2007, 01:41:53 PM: I see, thx for pointing that out.
Title: 8/jg27 109g-2
Post by: Krusty on April 18, 2007, 01:48:10 PM: You should be able to find it easily. use the default as an example. The prop breaks from the fuselage at the second panel line, if you know what I mean. First panel line being the front edge of the fuselage on the bitmap.
