Title: Some Walter Nowotny skins please
Post by: perdue3 on November 19, 2008, 08:13:22 PM
May I ask for some Walter Nowotny skins? I know that there are a lot of you who make skins. I have all of the skins in picture. If I could get someone who is willing, maybe we can chat about the possibilities.

The planes he flew: Bf 109E-7, 9/JG54 (this skin would do no good for there is no E-7 in AH). Bf 109F-2, 3/JG54 (this plane is similar enough to the F-4 that the skin will be credible). Bf 109G-2, 3/JG54. FW 190A-4/5/6, I/JG54. Me 262-A1, Kommando Nowotny (this skin was in AH, would appreciate it if it shows up again).

Once again, I didn't give much details but I have evrything you will need as far as looks of the airplane. If someone is interested, please get back to me.

Thanks, perdue3

If you have photos of one of his Fw.190A5's I'd like to do one.

Scratch half of my statement. We have the G-2, F-4, but need an A-5 as well as 262. Ill post two...one is winter camo, the other is a dark green. Ill leave the rest up to u. However, we have one of his squaddies (white winter camo) already so the green wouldnt hurt. But please do as u wish.

Heya Purdue,

The Nowotny 262 in game was mine.  I just finished a new 262 and will be doing the Nowotny this weekend.

Thank you RedHawk...my favorite skin in all of AH. Hell, my favorite bird of all time. I am a huge Nowotny fan. Its a shame he died...wouldve beaten Hartmann's ass. If u look at his score sheet, you see many La-5's Lagg-3's, P-40's, P-39's. You also see a couple Il-2's and Pe-3's. Most of his first 30 kills are Soviet biplanes. But anyway, thats what I love about Nowi, the guy killed fighters. Dick Bong killed 40, but only a scarce amount of fighters. Sorry, I'm blabbing.

Thanks all for the help. Cant wait to see them. :aok

Ok, paint work is mostly done, got some more to do on it (the first thing you'll notice missing is the chevrons, they're a major PITA to do so I haven't yet), but this'll give you an idea at least of what it's going to turn out like.

From the images on the Green skin.  The fuselage national marking doesn't appear to be black.

I have another profile of this bird that has the Iron Crosses on the fuselage black. Green crosses on a 1943 Fw190 are highly unlikely.

Motherland, that skin looks great bud. I appreciate the help from all of ya. Does anyone have a estimated completion date?                                 Thanks, perdue

Heya Purdue,

Both of the 262 skins have been submitted but have not gotten any reply from Skuzzy (the Holidays hit when I sent them in.)  If no word by the weekend I will call Skuzzy or resubmit if needed.

Agreed. IIRC, black-filled crosses were the norm at that time.

The release date is entirely up to HTC. Motherland could finish the skin tomorrow but have to wait 2 months for HTC to release the skin pack.

It almost seems in the picture that the drab on the tail extends around the hor. stabs. possibly all the way to the end of the tail?

The tail features the spotted camo. It seems like most of JG 54's planes are like that with the exception of his winter camo 190A-4. The 262, I imagine, looks great. If it is anything like the last one RedHawk did it will be great. Once again thanks all. Since there is already a JG54 190A-5, will HTC allow another?

RedHawk, I just noticed that you are in Bristol, TN. I go to school at UT here in Knoxville.

Very cool sir =)  2 hours away.  A couple of other gents are close as well.  You have Hiball in Va. and Shop in NC.  We get together from time to time as well.  Let me know if you ever want to have a little get together.  I believe Karen and I are gonna make a trip to Seveirville the end of March.  That is about 30 minutes away from you I think.  Possible to meet then if you are unable to travel this way.
