Well.....and bear with me here....but there is a bit of a point.....we don't have a map of Africa or Western Europe either but we still got official USAF and RAF skins for them in the in the mix (yeaaa the not at all immersion breaking experience of being hunted down over the Crimea by an invasion stripe toting RAF MkVb). Not even sure if China doesn't make it in with the P40s. Pre war America certainly does with the prototype US skins. The Iraqi 110s are well known aircraft, existing as they do in rare colour images too. I guess that might be the source of the "deep disappointment". 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Flowbee_603 525 Posted August 1, 2019 (edited) I wanted to do a 110 skin and using ICDP's excellent template chose to do 3U-AR of 7./ZG26. This aircraft existed in various versions of the Me110 starting in the Battle of Britain in 1940 and then going on to North Africa, and finally to Trapani on the West coast of Sicily where the airframe was found stripped and abandoned in 1943. As usual there are no good colour photographs available so this skin is only semi-historic. It is unclear but probable that the ID was worn by a 110 E2 at some point during this time frame. The skin is my interpretation based on about 30 or so poor quality photos that exist of this aircraft and others within the Zerstorer Gruppe and of a period at the end of the DAK Campaign in North Africa during '43. This final picture is of the crew celebrating the completion of their 250th combat mission at Trapani, Sicily in '43. https://www.mediafire.com/file/6o5e8gubr33nco7/Bf110E2_Public_4k_3U-AR__v6.dds/file I also did a version with a red A as I liked the black, white and red colouring. https://www.mediafire.com/file/imi6ciwr097hkpb/Bf110E2_Public_4k_3U-AR_RED_v12.dds/file Edited August 1, 2019 by Flowbee_603 10 1 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Flowbee_603 525 Posted August 3, 2019 (edited) Here is another aircraft from 7./ZG26 this time it is 3U-MR as it might have been in late '42. Again it appeared in various models and liveries during WWII. From blue/grey during the Battle of Britain and arrival in North Africa to later appearing with a white nose in Sicily '43. This is the best quality original photo that I could find.

Flowbee_603 525 Posted August 11, 2019 (edited) Here are two skins inspired by a poor quality scan pic I found online by artist Ian Holm. The first is my impression of Bf 110E-2, 3U+AC of StabII./ZG 26, Smolensk, January 1942 https://www.mediafire.com/file/dwetgq0orz6qj05/Bf110E2_Public_4k_3U_AC_v15.dds/file The second skin is of the same markings aircraft but now an Me 110G-2 in 1942 based at Dubino. I came across an original black and white photo of 3U+AC in summer camo but now can't find it again. As soon as I do I will post it here. Also if anyone else comes across this aircraft I would really like to see more original photos of it. https://www.mediafire.com/file/d3frk45opvjdbzf/Bf110G2_Public_4k_3U_AC_v14.dds/file Edited August 11, 2019 by Flowbee_603 6 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Flowbee_603 525 Posted August 14, 2019 (edited) Bf 110E-1 S9+BK, WNr. 4108, of 2./SKG210, whose pilot carried out a successful belly landing near Seschtschinskaja after receiving combat damage. The unit emblem can be seen on the forward fuselage, and the yellow Russian front theatre band is in the wing root position. Again thanks go to ICDP for his brilliant template. https://www.mediafire.com/file/85q2imvin1or9b2/Bf110E2_Public_4k_2.skg210_s9_bk_v3.dds/file Edited August 14, 2019 by Flowbee_603 7 1 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Flowbee_603 525 Posted August 19, 2019 (edited) OK Semor76, you seem to want this badly so let me see if I have this correct. You want a full 2nd Staffel complement of 12 aircraft for I./ZG26, 1941. This would be U8+AK to U8+LK. The aircraft colours to be... I or... And to look like this... Spoiler I./ZG26 formed 1939, disbanded 1942; code U8. The code for I./ZG 26 was changed from U8 to 3U as early as July 1940, although both were used until 1941 when 3U became permanent I./ZG 26 = initially U8, first half of 1941, changed to 3U I Gruppe Zerstörergeschwader 26 "Ringelpietz" - "U8+__" , used during 12.39 - 3.41. - "3U+__" , used during 3.41 - 4.44. In 1941 I./ZG26 were deployed first to the Balkans, then in the invasion of Greece and finally onto Russia. After looking through dozens of original b/w photos of I./ZG26 the aircraft shown in the profile above is from the Balkan campaign and was photographed over Yugoslavia. In Greece the nose was painted white and a thin white band applied just forward of the tailplane. In Russia the aircraft was redesignated as 3U and a yellow band applied under the 3U. Here is a good b/w photo of the 3U+KK 110 of the 2nd Staffel I./ZG26 in Russia. It clearly has a yellow band under the 3U but does not appear to have yellow on the engine narcelle. Please confirm which campaign theatre markings are to be applied. Edited August 21, 2019 by Flowbee_603 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Semor76 464 Posted August 20, 2019 (edited) Today is a good day....thanks mate!! Well,since we´re on the eastern front and according to the photo, I would suggest the version with the yellow fuselage band and without the yellow painted engine narcelle.

Flowbee_603 525 Posted August 21, 2019 (edited) OK, here is the first of the Staffel as discussed. If it is ok then I will use the template as a basis for the rest with minor differences just to add a bit of realism so the planes do not look so cloned. Also the ID letters had some limited colour changes within a Staffel but I have not come across any rules that govern those differences. If anyone has any insights to this it would be interesting. If you need yours without the Hakenkreutz it would be easier to do that at the outset as I default to have it as for me it just looks wrong without it. Let me know if it is ok or if you would like any changes. Hope I don't run out of disk space... 2nd Staffel aircraft of I Gruppe Zerstörergeschwader 26 "Ringelpietz", 1941 Russia. I've made another update to get the oil spills looking better and also to smooth out the ragged edge of red on the spinner. Going to have a look to see if I can get the paint flake edges sharper but that can wait until the BK version. Also the prop blade coupling could do with a metal shine. Some of the underside oil leaks also reflect too much light when in shadow but not sure that is worth trying to tweak as it takes so much time to get the alpha levels to balance just right. https://www.mediafire.com/file/7615um59cj118pd/Bf110E2_Public_4k_3U_AK_v11.dds/file (There is another update below with the correct Red A denoting an aircraft of the 2nd Staffel.)

Semor76 464 Posted August 21, 2019 (edited) @Flowbee_603 Just one word: A.W.S.O.M.E! True work of a true scotsman 😉 Well, if it´s not too much work for you, I would prefer to stay with the swastikas. The realism thing...you know. As for the colour code of the letter ID´s: IIRC ther was a basic rule for it. I read about it in one of the Kagero Books a few years ago. Maybe I still own this book. I have to do a search in my libary for it. It´s a bit chaotic here at the momet. In case of not, do as you like. It doesn´t need to be 1001% accurate. Keep on with the project. I like it and I´m sure the other Bf-110er Jokeys here do as well. Edited August 26, 2019 by Semor76 typo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Flowbee_603 525 Posted August 21, 2019 (edited) Excellent! I will start working my way through the next 11 then. It will take about a day per plane. Unless the weather improves in which case I am out of here but in Scotland there is little chance of that happening... Hopefully by the last plane the bf 110 should look pretty cool. Again all credit to ICDP and his superb template that really gets skin creation off to a flying start. edit: Found the info regarding lettering. For the 2nd Staffel the third letter should be red. So for historical accuracy here is the updated version. https://www.mediafire.com/file/a5pipn6swpyy6rj/Bf110E2_Public_4k_3U_AK_v13.dds/file Edited August 21, 2019 by Flowbee_603 3 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Flowbee_603 525 Posted August 24, 2019 (edited) I completed the run through for the 12 skins of Staffel 2./ZG26 but when viewed side by side, despite my efforts, they still looked cloned. I then went back through the skins and tried to achieve more variance. I think that now they look more acceptable. So here is the complete skin pack for the whole of the 2nd Staffel. Any change requests are more than welcome as I have managed to retain the complete Template making this process easier. 2./ZG26 supported the German advance towards Leningrad engaged mainly in ground attack missions. They had no fear of Russian fighters at this stage of the war and claimed that they could easily outmanoeuvre them as their attacks were clumsy and without skill. Also JG54's 109s usually made short work of any attacking Russian fighters. https://www.mediafire.com/file/xurul0zyzwxmyae/Bf110E2_Public_4k_3U_K_2.I.ZG26_final.zip/file Edited August 24, 2019 by Flowbee_603 3 4 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
