I found some pictures that may be of interest to some of you that I thought I would share. Also if any one knows anything about them if you could let me know. First off a Winter camo tiger no other info other than this pic. (http://img98.imageshack.us/img98/4064/0b091uv4.th.jpg) (http://img98.imageshack.us/my.php?image=0b091uv4.jpg) Next this ju88 very similar to a skin Greebo did except for the back half of the plane. (http://img389.imageshack.us/img389/5885/na168600nk5.th.jpg) (http://img389.imageshack.us/my.php?image=na168600nk5.jpg) Next is a p38 I don't know what model it is & it looks like it could have a desert camo paint job on it the picture is not that good a quality & I might be wrong on that. (http://img98.imageshack.us/img98/1076/wwiiphoto1ya3.th.jpg) (http://img98.imageshack.us/my.php?image=wwiiphoto1ya3.jpg) The best I saved for last is these 190's in colour you can see there the cross on the fuselage is with a red back ground as well the red looks to continue on down the spine of the plane towards the tail. I don't know what model they are either. (http://img389.imageshack.us/img389/6546/0c161ga6.th.jpg) (http://img389.imageshack.us/my.php?image=0c161ga6.jpg)

the background on the 190's cross is Yellow my friend :)
P38 looks desert camo at first, but if you notice, you'll see green starting to rise up and be mixed in with it.

Is it a coloured black & white photo on the 190's?
-
It doesn't look like it was originally black and white. But it's definitely yellow for the background of the german Cross.

Actually, the 38 looks to be in RAF cammo. I'd guess by the markings that it was a Stateside training bird. One of the group of Model 322s rejected by the British.

Wouldn't there be no exaust deal near the tail since the Brits took out the turbosuperchargers(called that right?)?
-
190 looks like JG54 skin camo. Same one we have in the game

Rejected the turbos, but the exhaust still vents in the same place. Just like nearly all the P-38s still flying.
-
38 looks like the same desert camo of the Pink P39.

The Ju88 most likely had the tail replaced due to damage. However, a photo like that doesn't say if the tail was repainted, or if it ever flew in combat like that (which I'd kind of doubt), or if it was an unarmed squadron "hack." You would need to find a lot more info about the photo in question before making a skin out of it.

I think this plane might be this one a captured aircraft. (http://img134.imageshack.us/img134/7193/c6093e5a2f3f8bee4393c3acr1.th.jpg) (http://img134.imageshack.us/my.php?image=c6093e5a2f3f8bee4393c3acr1.jpg) If you look on top of the left wing it looks as if the roundel is still there & would also explain the roundel that is painted over on the side,also the lighter colour of the engines match up some what. I have seen a few pictures of captured aircraft at a later date they try & repaint them back to their German roots.

190s look like A-5s

Yeah I think its Emil "Buly" Lang's 190A-5 of 5./JG 54.

The 38 is one of the RAF rejected birds and in stateside training markings as they were used for that by the USAAF.
I believe the Ju88 is an RAF captured bird that had the roundels on and then was repainted either postwar, or for a tour with oversized LW markings. Swastika on the tail is way too big and it looks like the RAF Roundel is still showing underneath the added fuselage marking
The same P38/P322

Another P38/P322 also in training markings

I suspect the Ju 88 is the same 3./KG 54 aircraft I skinned. This aircraft B3+PL was used on anti shipping operations in the Med. Still in its wavy line water colour scheme, it was transferred to Northern Europe to participate in the Operation Steinbeck, Hitler's ill fated 1944 revenge Blitz on London. Over London on the night of April 18/19 AA fire knocked out the port engine and most of the instruments including the compass. The pilot Unteroffizer Brandt tried to reach Holland but ended up crash landing on an RAF base in Essex.

Actually ... it looks like it was photoshopped onto the tail.
The Tiger camo looks like it was hand painted on in the field as opposed to being delivered/built with that color schema.
-

Definitely photoshopped. Notice how the cross is smooth, and the swastika has the little boxes on it (hard to explain, but you hopefully know what I mean)

No it is not photo shopped the web site I got this picture from said it was from a negative they had.

take a look at the swastika, notice how it's jaged compared to the other parts of the plane. Compare it to the German cross, it's 100% photoshopped.

I still say it is not photoshopped. :)

I found the pic on a site and it's actually not the original paint scheme. That is white wash applied while the tank was in the field.
-
Ok I'm going out on a limb and assuming that each tiger was assigned one number and no two tigers were assigned the same number. If they were assigned in the field and some tigers were numbered the same then I'm going to look like a idiot....cross my fingers. :pray Here we go..Tiger 123 of the s.Pz. Abt. 503 was at the Battle of Kursk in 1943. Was later destroyed by crew in February 1944. I found great pics of 123 on these sites..

Nice job I would say you have identified that Tiger for sure. :aok

Sorry...
"The first number is the company, the second number is the platoon and the third number is the order of the tank in the section. For example 414 would be the number for the fourth tank in the first platoon of the fourth company. On the company commander's and deputy commander's tanks, the second digit was 0 and the third digit 0, 1 or 2. Staff company normally had the numbers 001 to 003. In some units, roman numerals I, II and III were used."
