the 110 model is a old one and is full of bugs that can with a lot of effort be worked around.

how about u find a few ideas for skins and post them for skinners to look at and see if they want to do them

After a certain number of skins, they start looking like the same thing (the same camo pattern). So if you have ideas, please post 'em!

I'll take any Bf110c you want to do!  I left the idea open to make it easy for anybody who was willing to make one.

  Early War  Dark green splinter camo would be nice.  Maybe like  Wolfgang Falcks? 

I'll help anyway I can.  I'll do some research.

Keep in mind we already have something like that.

Here's what we have already:

If you can find something that hasn't already been done let me know. Most of them seem to be covered with the 3x green splinter, the grey, and the 2x tan desert schemes.

Krusty, How about this one. Not sure of ANY information about it, I found it in The Battle Of Britain by Jon Lake as a profile. No other information provided, but it clearly differs to the other skins available, and isnt covered by them. Im not sure if it is even a -C, but if it is, its a new skin.

Just an advice macloud, when taking photos of books and text, enable macro function on your camera, it will sharpen the objects that are closer, and you'll have a much better photo. ;)

Usually on cameras you have this option, select it and shoot away ;)

ok, found it, would you like me to retake the picture?

I don't think that skin is historically accurate. No 110Cs that I know of had overall mottle camo on top of their wings in green/green (green/grey?) patterns.

oh well, was worth a shot :(

EDIT
After looking through the book a bit more, I found a photo that shows the Blue/grey camoflaughe WITHOUT motling. possiblity of new skin still there?

They didn't have blue-grey mottling. It's probably a mistake or interpretation made by the book's artist coupled with the poor print process they used to make the book.

The photo must be kinda funky... The color is way off (old photos can do that) because it's flying over Dover in formation with another 110 (one taking the pic) and they would only have standard splinter camo on during the BOB. Only later and in different theaters did they seem to come up with various paint schemes (not counting night fighters)


EDIT: But we could do a standard splinter camo without mottling (as in this picture) to bring a little variation to what we have in-game. Wouldn't look much different, but it would probably be noticable.
