More Green Heart 190's (Adoptions)
« on: April 01, 2021, 12:27:05 AM »
Both of these skins are adoptions of the originals done by Larry/Truekill.

2./Jg 54

Originally "Black 1" when skinned by Larry, I decided to skin "Black 2 from the same squadron based on better reference material.






6./Jg 54

Apparently based on only some artist profiles, I decided to follow Larry's original closely with some minor alterations. First, I completely redid the right fuselage half as Larry's was mostly mirrored from the left. Second, I added unit markings to the right side in keeping with the common Jg 54 practice. Third, changed the darkest green splotches to a dark red-brown. It seems that in the spring of 1943 a mix of greens and browns were used on most planes to cover the overall white of Jg 54's 190's. This specific shade closely resembles one used in a well known color photo of a 1./Jg 54 machine. Also, the brown adds further distinction from the other partial snow schemes already in game.

Very nice job Devil.

A lot of the older skins in the game seem to be based on nothing but profiles. I suspect more often than not though that if there are no photos to back a profile up its because they never existed. Some book publisher just said "do a profile of this plane" and the artist just used educated guesswork to make it happen.

Great-looking updates.  Yellow 2 is my favorite scheme.

I want a winter MA map now.  Or at least the northern half of the map could be winter tiles...

Now that would be cool. Reminds me of Civ.

Excellent work. Keep it up! <S>
There must also be a flyable computer available for Nefarious to do FSO. So he doesn't keep talking about it for eight and a half hours on Friday night!
