Title: Info needed, 111 skin help
Post by: Dragon Tamer on January 11, 2014, 01:54:41 PM

I stopped working on this skin because I couldn't find any information on it other than the original color profile for it. It's a shame though, it's nearly finished too. So I am asking for help looking for information on 1.KG4 5J+GH. Here is the color profile I have for it:

And yes, I know that it doesn't match the plane we have in game. I have already talked to HTC about it and was told that it would be acceptable.

I also found a profile buried in my files for 7.KG4 5J+ER. I haven't started it but I am thinking about working on this one as well. I haven't done any research for that yet but so far 111s are hard to research, any additional info would be appreciated.

This link has a sister ship with similar markings.

Although it doesn't match your profile in regards to unit identification.
I don't know enough about German units to be sure what is correct.

I did find some info on this plane being shot down on this Polish site.
No picture of the aircraft though.
