[Request] Messerschmitt Bf 109 K-4 11./JG 77

[deyv]

Well I'm terrible in photoshop (shitty as hell) so I'm putting this K4 in the request maybe some good modder will give it a shot. This beauty 109 was flown by Leutnant Heinrich "Hein" Hackler.

Batch 330 196

 

You can find some more feedback about this aircraft's story here:

might be similar to batch 330 130

and 330 320

You could try this:

 

 

 

 

I'm not sure for the colours though...

Neither for the upper side of the wings design.

 

for it's still WIP,I suggest you download it, and try ingame, i'll do my best to correct it if you suggest.

 

 

Hope you'll enjoy,

first of all SUPER thanks Sleipner for this. I was so struggling in Photoshop...barely started and was so frustrated

 

I found few interesting things first is batch 330 204 is quite close to 330 196

 

 

Bf 109K-4 (Wk-Nr 330204) 'White 1' flown by Hauptmann Menzel, Staffelkapitan 9./JG 77, December 1944

 

thanks to DB 605's info III/JG27 and III/JG77 were first who received first K-series. in number ranges from 330 127 to 330 237

 

however according to existing interpretation 196 looks like a mixture of 330 and 335 (brown-green) batch on top and maybe on wings too

 

side camo look magnificent... can't wait :pilotfly:

 

Thanks again

very nice livery ! well done !

I suggest you to upload it in "User files" instead of a dropbox.

sure it will have success.

 

colours on "Hobby kit" pic are so nice ! unfact maybe less realistic.

[deyv]

it's based on Claes Sundin's profile... I think Sleipner put it in dropbox cause it is WIP

Glad you enjoy.

 

The colours of the skin are coming right from the "official" ED template colour chart.

 

The design is out of hundreds of photos I've watched on the internet and thanks to deyv for the numerous corrections he made by PM to help me to get it as accurate as i could do!

 

They are few corrections I still want to do.

 

I'm now looking for the appropriate font for the numer 10 (any idea where?), and then i will release it on "user files"

 

Thanks for support,

 

Sleipner

I found two samples:

 

http://decals.kitreview.com/decals/images/lifdecaleview32bg_decals.jpg

http://www.hyperscale.com/images/kagerominitopcolorsreviewbf_2.jpg

 

will compare them and maybe find some more at home

[JST]

With these late-war birds the stencils used range wildly from hand-painted to whatever found on captured soil. It's extremely rare to just have a font to fit the current work. Modifying and drawing your own numbers is often required.

 

Though it can be easier. Check link below for the RAF WW2 fonts/NL prewar font and you should find a good 0, atleast to modify if not fit closely enough.

1 is easy enough to modify from any Din 1451 font (Also found above)

[Markindel]

Thanks to all for this nice skin and information.

[Sleipner]

Thank you very much JST. I had those already, but still looking for one similar to change easily the numbers for my team mates...

 

never mind if I don't find!

 

Markindel, thanks for your nice words, i'll let you know when it will be finished.

Maybe we'll see it in the sky... One day... In Normandy...

 

It will be uploaded on "user file" soon.

 

Enjoy and fly safe,
