Skins and Repaints

Bf109-E3 template by myself. much like the mkIIa spitfire. bit more simplified.

Optional Weathering & panel lines over your custom skin from the start !
Optional painting area mask including non paintable details.

top is new , bottom is old. a bit more default weathering and sublte hints of panel lines. both pictures same time same location same skin & both with zero% weathering. !

Doh!!! yeah my fault ive put the completely wrong example skin file in there. sorry.

Great work, Ali. May I ask if you could upload a templane with weathering and panel lines in two different layers? Would be cool!

I tend to believe the "mix theory" as aviation paint is a complicated matter and I don't think it is likely that any old paint would be used on fighter aircraft. That's a very simplified statement but I'm hungry and it will have to do for now



White-13 flown by Walther Blume has been photographed in color. At first it seemed to be painted in RLM02/71 but when compared to the RLM02 visible on the enginbearers and a Klemm trainingaircraft in the background it's obviously not RLM02 but possibly a mix of RLM02 and RLM65.


I used similar mixes for Gallands very intersting mottled camo...


Horst Perez' aircraft is also known to have been grey, it has been confirmed when the aircraft was restored that it was painted in greys but it's not RLM74/75 which wasn't used on a wide scale at the time. (It did exist in small quantities for trials though, all according to Ken Merrick)

Cheers, MP

Sooner or later it will be fixed I guess! The skins are weathered but still work nicely with the different weathering layers that can be added by the game. It's quite tricky to work with JPG's and the way the engine illuminates the skins. I keep adjusting little things but it's time to share!
