He 111H of 5./Kg 26 based out of Villacidro, Sardinia in early 1943. While Kg 26 was predominately employed in the anti-shipping role, during the Allied advances through North Africa towards Tunisia, Kg 26 also used their in anti-ground sorties.
This aircraft features standard base camouflage of RLM 70 and 71 over 65 with a white tail band IFF used in the MTO. The staffel color of red was painted on the spinner tip and also used for the plane's individual letter of "E". The Kg 26 "Vestigium Leonis" crest is painted on both sides of the fuselage.

The markings of the above skin were adapted to a desert scheme for use in events as a special default skin. While there exists a color reference photo of the cockpit area of a Kg 26 He 111 in desert sand, no other information can be determined about the aircraft, therefore it is unsuitable for submitting to HTC. "E" was changed to "K" because KN uber alles!

Beautiful skins, Devil!

Very nice. The yellow seems a bit stark but I've long given up on trying to get that color right.
Merry Christmas.

Yeah, I agree about the yellow.
I was experimenting with a darker yellow on the MTO P-400 after seeing Greebo's closeup of his artwork on the "Modern Design" B-26. Basically, the yellow ring on my P-400 roundels is a 50/50 mix of his dark yellow and the Insignia Yellow I used for the Checkertail P-40F. There may be merit in darkening all the yellows I use, but it will require time to fine tune the German spec yellows. But for Insignia Yellow on U.S. birds the P-400 mix is likely to be my new standard.
