Winter 110 is coming

[Greebo]

Thanks to Lyric1 for finding me the info for this skin.

Schnellkampfgeschwader 210 was originally set up in 1941 to be the service test unit for the Luftwaffe's new twin engined fighter bomber, the Messerschmitt 210. However given the delays caused by numerous problems with this aircraft it was decided to turn it into an operational test unit for Bf 110 fighter bomber tactics. As such it supported the German Army's advance through the Soviet Union throughout 1941 before being absorbed into a new unit called ZG-1 in January 1942. This aircraft has the unit's wasp noseart as well as yellow theatre ID markings. It also has a coat of winter whitewash applied over its grey/green camouflage scheme that has worn off in places.

Cool stuff!

Very nice.

I've got a sharkmouth one in the works and am struggling with getting the teeth to line up across the seam on the lower nose. looks like you managed well with the wasp near the tip in the regard.

It was a bit of a caper getting the wasp right but I found a close up photo taken from side-on that showed the nose art and nose panel lines clearly and this helped a lot. On the fuselage top, front and bottom the wasp art is fairly simple compared to the sides but it did require a fair bit of editing to get it to blend smoothly. At least there is no texture stretching on this shape like on so many AH2-era skins.
