Title: NJG101 Bf-110G
Post by: Greebo on October 06, 2017, 03:33:23 PM

Thanks to Lyric1 for finding the info for this skin.

This night fighter Bf-110G belonged to 6./NJG101. Its grey and blue camouflage was over-sprayed with a unusual green pattern designed to make the aircraft less visible when it was parked on the ground. One Soviet and nine British kill markings were displayed on the LH tail and a yellow vee was painted under the left wing. The vee was an ID marking common to LW aircraft operating in Hungary from September 44 to March 45.

Excellent work.

How did you go about making the spiral on the spinners?

Thanks guys.

What I first did with the spinner is to draw some equally spaced lines across the spinner on a temporary layer. In the skin viewer these ran around the spinner in a series of rings but because of the distorted way the spinner is mapped these lines appeared to get closer together towards the tip. So I adjusted the line spacing until the lines looked equally spaced in the viewer. Then on a separate layer I drew the spiral lines so they each intersected four of the radial lines. After that I just adjusted the lines slightly so they met smoothly at each end, filled in between the lines and turned off the radial line layer.
