dear sirs, i found this site of depictions in color of bf-109E and other aircraft, http://www.markstyling.com/bf109es1.htm . i would like to see a bf109e skin without a yellow nose and with really good green pattern camo on upper surfaces AND sides. there are a few nice one in the pages of the provided link. thank you.
-
specifically page 3 and 4 of the link have some great all camo skins or green skins

without a yellow nose
BLASPHEMY! How dare you speak those words! :mad: :neener:
Cool find! I wonder if anyone would make the 'Black 1' flown by Oberleutnant Herbert Ihlefeld, Gruppenkommandeur I.(J)/LG 2 (Page 5)
I really like that one. I want as much yellow on the nose as possible :aok ;)

Alpini, are you referring to the splinter pattern or just a scheme with heavy splotching on the sides?
-
The overall green camo covers such a small time frame starting prewar. Seems like it was gone before the Battle of France. The RLM 2/71/65 with the hi demarcation line for the top camo was really the most used, with the splotching of camo over the fuselage RLM 65 in varying amounts depending on which JG painters were at work.
And the yellow noses were basically mid August 1940 on for the Emil.

any of the camo scemes that have the side camo painted as well........instead of some spray can oversprays on the sides. i think about half of the skins we have now in game have yellow cowls, and i think there is enough of them.they is a large data base at that link if you go there and hit home....will give you full menu

Wouldn't half not yellow be about right? :)
Considering the Balkans, early MTO and Russian Front Emils all had yellow cowls to go with the mid August on Battle of Britain birds, I'd suggest more then half would appropriately be yellow cowled birds just to cover the potential special events.
Also considering we don't have the plane set to really do the Polish campaign or really even Battle of France, it does seem to lean to more yellow.

Gotta agree with Guppy here. Of the 10 Emils I'm currently skinning, none are in the pre-war splinter. Only 3 will be yellow nosed, but could easily be 6 merely by choosing another plane of the same squadron.
Closest to what you want might be this E-7 from JG 5 in Finland.
