It's hard to pick a favourite but I really like the clean ones, especially this one:

Uploaded a couple of new skins today and also added the JG26 shield to the Bf109E-3's of Blume and Muncheberg.

First one is a Bf109E-1 of 7./JG27. It was actually retrofitted with the later style square canopy but it looks allright like this too...


Then there's Yellow 9 of 3./JG3, I still love the Tatzelwurm marking!

Lovely skins, I'll definitely go for one of those!

And I guess it will be the first one, the Blume skin, since it is indeed the most generic one. A real beauty, good choice.

Look for his light-grey Galland skin, its one of my personal favorites as well. Very clean.

Three more JG26 Emils uploaded! Regarding the colors, it's known that JG26 experimented with different grey colors, III./JG26 aircraft can be seen in colorphotos having been painted in various greys. It's off course impossible to tell exactly which aircraft were repainted in greys and which were not so the 8./JG26 aircraft might have both been grey or both been green... I've gone with a hunch, looking at contrasts between colors and so on so while I'm happy with my choice it's far from certain to be correct.

BTW, 8./JG26 was known as the "Adamson staffel" after the cartoon they used for their staffelmarking - a unit that should appeal to the Simpsons fans among us as it looks like Homer Simpsons fore-runner!

I love the middle one. Am tempted to use it for my movie, since it is both elegant and cheerful at the same time. Should be based at Abbeville, right?

Ah, no, btw: I'll stay with Blume's skin, since I want to do an E-3...

Today I uploaded three Bf109E-4's flown by Adolf Galland. The first is Wrk.Nr 5819 which was his main aircraft from September 1940 and into 1941. The other two are variations of the same aircraft which is almost as much photographed as 5819 although I can't figure out the Wrk.Nr for this one although several more are known...

EDIT: Just re-upped 5819 as I realised that by the time the wingroot had been fixed, the rudder had been repainted along with the victorytally. It's fixed now... There might be changes coming to the other two as I just had a brainwave

EDIT 2: I've been trying to identify the aicraft in the second and third shot below. It's been photographed enough to make me certain that it must have been Gallands main aircraft for quite some time so it's hard to understand how it's Wrk.Nr wouldn't be known. I then realised that the shots confirmed to show 5819 were all taken in late November 1940 or later although Galland is known to have flown it since September 7:th.

It's also interesting to note that in early November Galland flew other aircraft for more than a week and I now believe that during that time, 5819 was taken away for an overhaul and given the new paintscheme as part of the process. So all those other photos show 5819 although in the scheme it wore during its early career. At least that's my theory!

When are you going to write up a PS guide to teach us how to create as wonderful skins as you do? Many thanks for adding so much beauty to my game!
