Does anyone have more info on this a/c (besides the pic I have)
I believe it's 3./JG 51
109E-4

Thanks, in advance
(In the meantime, I may order the Osprey book)

That skeletal hand is sweet! If the plane is black, that would be one of my new favorite skins. :aok

Grup 1, 3/JG51. I dint think that is a 109E-4 If it was, it would have a yellow nose. The pic that i posted is the E-1 in 1939 at Speyer, Germany. The E-4 was used 1940, August, France. I will see if i can find anything more on the E-4.

The photo is of an E-3. Note the round edge on the rear canopy glass (behind the flip-open section)? Note the MG/FF guns in the wings.
Definitely not an E-1, as they had 7mm wing guns, no barrel protruding from leading edge, and no bulge under the wing to house the 20mm cannon drum.
I thought about skinning one like this a while back, never got around to it. Several 109Es never got made but I was semi-interested in doing.

Not all Bf-109E-4s had yellow noses...

From what i have been told of your photot is that is from 3./JG51, Staffel 3 of I./JG51. The skeleton hand is the marking of 3./JG51 while the shield is that of I./JG51. Krusty is right on the E-3 Not E-1 or E-4.
-
Wasn't sure if it was a 3 or 4.
I'll ask now, is there a problem (community wise) with skinning OUR Emmil like this (as I'm sure an E-3 is not in the works)?
I hope it's OK as I have finished it about 3/4 of the way. :noid
Here is the clip from the Osprey book WITH the caption (I cut it off earlier).

Hope you r not asking me. That up to AH. I am still trying to learn how to do this stuff. I guess it will be ok. It is not like you are putting that skin on a B-24.
-
But I am asking you :D
And everyone else.
I will also ask HTC, but as we have a few other minor aberrations (i.e. 190 A-4 paint jobs on OUR 190 A-5, and maybe a few others that I can't think of at this very moment) I don't see a big issue with it.

190A6 actually not a 190A4. I called and got permission before doing it.
-
That was you? :noid
Whose permission did you get?
-
support@hitechcreations.com
Just email there and tell them whats going on. I don't see a big deal with a E3 skin on an E4 they're pretty much the same plane. Right know I have an A4 our an A5, a G10 on our K4 and a A9 on our A8.

A4 A5 G10 K4 A9 A8.
You sunk my battleship!!!! :cry

Good Grief Von, I was trying to get you and Motherland to do all three 190s in the picture I posted. Look in your forum for the thread. The other two were A7s.
I got permission, I refuse to implicate the hard working HTC employees by name. :noid
-
Hey, it's done, I just keep forgetting to submit it.
-
I found info & drawings/pics on Molder's 109D-1, E-3 & F-4. Couldn't find any showing that skeletal hand though.

They are hard to find. But for some reason i have seen a pic of 109 with that skeleten hand. Dam it Von, cant get it out of my head. :furious
-
Good! :devil Maybe it will prompt you to remember where you saw it.
In the meantime (whilst I am awaiting a response from HTC) I call dibs on the 110 (below)
(as soon as they are remodeled, I'll get started on it)

Why not do it now. :aok

Do you think there are any (near) future plans to update it?
I'd hate to do it twice. :cry
-
E-3s and E-4s are nearly identical, served side-by-side, and E-3s were upgraded to E-4 specs (minor modification in MG/FF guns, to MG/FFm, and rear pilot armor, couple of minor things), so there is no problem skinning an E-3 onto AH2's E-4 plane.
I've already done it a couple of times.
-
I really couldn't tell you.
I remember seeing a 109 or 110 with a skeleton hand in one of my books Ill take a look and post the picture/info when I find it.

Besides the lack of rudder pedals, I can't remember (while sitting at my desk at work) what else could/needs to be changed.
As far as scanning any pics for me?
Ausgeseichnet!
It would be greatly appreciated :aok
I'd purchase the books I need, but I hate to pay for ones that I can't really use. :noid
EDIT:
I checked, there are still (2) bmp's used (like the Stuka still has. Does having (2) mean it's not updated, yet?) I know the Stuka needs some remodeling (like a variant such as the G model) :devil
The 110 bmp's are still at 256 x 256, which I'm sure means it's not as updated as some other a/c.
They way taht HTC has been hinting at things, I'd hate do spend the time, and then have it updated. :noid
-
The two I have now that put me back about $170 so unless you're really into skinning I wouldn't recommend it.
I found it, its a 110F-2 during an engine fire.
Edit: Open the pic's URL in a new window to get a higher res.

See above edit.
Thanks for the pic. That's the one I was looking for !! :aok
The pic that I have (in this post of the 110, which I believe is from a model kit) says it's a 110 G from 12/JG77. Wonder if it's accurate?
-
Von I will e-mail you all the stuff I have on that 110
-
Thanks, Bro :aok
I was gonna ask you if you were still working on it. I even tried to search the for that old post.
