Detroit - in the Danger Zone!
A couple of skins I've whipped up for the Fw 190D-9.

Black 10 of Jagdgeschwader 54:




Red 3 of Jagdverband 44 "Platzshultztaffel"




This is my first time attempting a Dora from Jv44. Recent sources suggest that the white stripes were on the wings only, and not the fuselage as was previously thought. This contributes to a significant savings in hair-pulling and general grumpiness, let me tell you.

Not under the rear fuselage but they definately had white stripes under the cowling back to the wing. There's plenty of B&W an color photos to confirm this.

Thanks for that, Bury; it'll be easier then trying to get them under the wing and fuselage, anyway - plus there's a couple other pips I need to fill in.

Hey Capt.Farrel, would you mind hosting them when ready? \:\)

Wrong ruddy Number Ten on the first version of the JG54 skin... *grumble*

Here's the right one:

Really nice work Goodwood.

Otherwise your original spelling translates as "Shultz's Airfield Squadron." \:D

Yeah I usually remember the "c" in there, m8...heh.

Anyone got some online references available for the other aircraft within this small unit? I'd gladly do'em... ;\)

There is this link to a fellow who did a version of these earlier - the actual skin links are dead but the link to hi historical information is a good one w/ oodles of information.

There is also a 13 mission mini-campaign for the JV44 "Sachsenberg Schwarm" posted at Mission4Today.

Whelp, I've just registered at Mission4Today so hopefully I can have the whole set available when it's ready. I was almost done with Red 3 but Photoshop went tits-up on me and I lost all me work. Grrr.

Nice skins! I have been away so I didn't see your request - I'll host them if you want me to, but it may take some time. I'm not home much right now!

Goodwood,

Any chance you might upload your JG26 Black 10 Dora you used in a great screen shot? Really liked the looks of that aircraft.

I'd have to rebuild it since I lost the skin when I reformatted in January. But it shouldn't be too hard.
