@LcSummers
I experimented with an adjusted (changed black to red), quartered red/white spinner, I borrowed from Cpt. Farrel's Franz von Werra skin, but decided to go with the plain white one instead.
Like I said, the skin is based on the one FF*Ph0b0s*95 used in his video, which I still like very much! And he also used a white spinner.
But I can release it with a bi-colored spinner once it's finished. That won't be a problem.

I stumbled over a screenshot of your skin on your website, while I was already far into the project and I thought: "If I see a download link, I'm gonna kick myself!"

After all, I started making this skin, because I couldn't find it anywhere to be downloaded.

Pretty cool btw, that you tried to copy even the camo pattern correctly!

As for the shade of brown, I can't really take credit for that. I just used the colors of the video. Video-compression might have distorted 'em a bit, but they work well I think.

Thanks for you feedback guys! Appreciate it!

Doesnt matter at all mate!!

I have some books and plastic kits, there the spinner is red. I only wanted to mention that. I for myself like both versions.

JG26_EZ,

i have Schroers/Fw. Franz Elles skin from Tamiya 1/48 Me 109E-4/7 or a book called German Fighterplanes1939-1945 in coloured profiles from Claes Sundin and Christer Bergström. Schroer flew it only a few times, Fw. Franz Elles flew it more often than Schroer. I cant remember where i read or have it.

or have a look over here:

Here's another skin I'm working on:

It's a 109 E-4 flown by Hauptmann Max Dobislav in late spring 1941.

Still a work in progress (mainly general fine tuning and color adjustments)

lol Matze. I feel the same way when i decide to start a skin.

I didn't upload it because I took my time finishing it, got distracted and started another (have 3 or 4 "almost ready" skins in this state).

Re: camo markings.. I had found a printable template for painting a model. I took the template, resized it and put it on a transparent layer and then traced it.
