I thougt that I would try my hand on the various Ju-87 models in the game. Thinking that they were truly due a facelift, this is what I came up with. Now, these are not 100% finished, and there are some minor details to adjust so bear with me. The screenshots are all devoid of national markings as I thought I'd just show you the progress so far. I have completed several schemes with various markings, Rudels D-5 and G-2, a D-5 with Gefechtsverband Kuhlmey in Finland, and several D-1/D-3 and B models.

I have found a lot of references in books and online, and trying to get as many things as possible just so has really taken a lot of time. If anyone has any info on color schemes and different markings, all help is appreciated.

Here are a few screenshots, hope that you like them.

The Ju 87B-2





The Ju 87D-1/D-3



The Ju87D-5









The Ju 87G-1/G-2









I've also completely reworked my old Bf 109 templates, this is a skin of Alfred Grislawski, JGr 50.
Opinions welcome on this as well. Again, not the finished product.

Those are awesome!

I wonder...has anyone done the Stuka skins for the skin upgrade project? Those should definitely go in there!

Looking great! Are you going to release the template? I've always wanted to do a stuka or two but I never could find a good template...

About the Grislawski skin, it's looking great but the wingcamo wasn't that straight, it was the version with serrated edges and on Grislawskis machine it wasn't applied very neatly. It's a great skin either way but as you asked I thought I'd mention it. \:\)

Same tail markings but no serated edges. Also note how the side camo extends down to the cross.

Great skins. Well done.

Thankīs for the kind input all. Iīm glad you like them.
Cpt_Farrel and NineLives, thank you for the pointers regarding Grislawski. I have a few photos of his G-6 and the camo on the upper wings. This is just a rough draft so far. Itīs been a while since I have made any 109 skins, taking a peek at the Capīs skins always make me feel itīs pointless to keep trying! Nice wheels by the way, quite a pleasant difference.

Thank you for the photos, NineLives, I appreciate the help.

Yes, the Stukas are very nice.

I'd like them even more if
- the exhaust stains would look blackish instead of brownish and
- the greens would be a bit more dark, but I don't know wether this is realistic...
