ZachariasX Posted May 3, 2018 Posted May 3, 2018 Any Swiss AF skins in existence? I can‘t find any when searching the forum...

They seemed to retain the RLM colors. Wing upper side retained a color scheme similar to the German one, as can be seen here: SAF got 14 of the G6 type. 10 were traded for a radar equipped Me-110 that landed in the wrong place. The ten G6 we got for that one (J-705 is one of those) were so bad in quality that they had to be grounded. German humor that is... J-701 was also a war prize. Again, some Luftie landed in the wrong place with it and the SAF took the liberty of directly using that G6 as their modern fighter alongside the various 109 E3 that was bought in 1939 as well as built in license. These: Now we don‘t have an E3 and I‘m not sure how well that one might fit on the E7... The later added white and red „invasion stripes“ really show show the concern about similar type of aircraft potentially facing each other in combat. Also for this reason, the Germans only had Bf-110 stationed at the Swiss border during the times they were occasionally shooting at each other. Cool if you could make it.

OK - Itll they will be in 4K since RaFiGers template is a joy but I can scale down the skin to 2K if you prefer. Give me a couple of days. 1

Wolfram-Harms Posted May 3, 2018 Posted May 3, 2018 Cripes, why did Switzerland have any camo sheme at all, with those markings?!? 1
Wolfram-Harms Posted May 3, 2018 Posted May 3, 2018 (edited) Work in progress - this weekend I should be finished with 2 autumn versions of the "Scharfi-G-6". Here is one of them - "Red 8"... Edited May 3, 2018 by Wolfram-Harms 1

Saves money to repaint everything I guess. They also had a sense for more special paints: J-377 was part of Fliegerkompanie 21 (21st Squadron) and was the part time ride of weekend soldiers until the end of 1949 when all 109 E3 — they were known as Me-109 DB as opposed to the Jumo powered 109 D „Me-109 Jumo“; designation „Bf“ instead of „Me“ was not used — were phased out and scrapped. It is of note how diverese the aircraft were painted. While J-377 had a round underwing Swiss marking, it is square on J-313 next to it. Not only the aircraft were bought without weapons from Messerschmitt Werk Regensburg, they came also without radio and without paint for the national markings. This explains the RLM base color set and the improvised national markings. Eventually those E3 were armed with two Fl MG 29 on the nose (similar caliber) with 960 rounds and 20 mm Oerlikon FF-K with 60 rounds each in the wings. However, the Oerlikon 20 mm had to be hand cocked on the ground. I would guess that was a step back from the MG FF. Fitted also with a Revi 3c and the control stick was a KG11 that is very much resembling the British sticks. Seat harness was arranged slightly different as well. Again, these would be beautiful skins, but we only have the E7... They seemed to have a nerve for goofy paints as well, this is J-714, the single G-14 listed in the SAF inventory. The grey one on the left is J-713, former RU+OZ that eventally found its end on the slopes of Pizzo Rodi. More color schemes here: http://www.risingdecals.com/Bf-109/72-012_Swiss.htm
Wolfram-Harms Posted May 5, 2018 Posted May 5, 2018 (edited) Just uploaded 6 variants of the Bf 109 G-6 "Scharfi Paint Sheme" for different units; some of them autumn camo. Enjoy! http://www.mediafire.com/file/twebw98uoneim5j/Bf_109_G-6_Scharfi_Sheme_Variants.7z EDIT: because JG3 wasn't in the area anymore when the G-6 came, I exchanged those for JG52 skins here: http://www.mediafire.com/file/k4a3ndodx4uibvv/Bf_109_G-6_ScharfiSheme_variants_3.7z Edited May 12, 2018 by Wolfram-Harms 9 2 1 4
Wolfram-Harms Posted May 6, 2018 Posted May 6, 2018 Dammit - I just checked and realised: JG 3 wasn't in the Kuban area anymore, when the Bf 109 G-6 was introduced. Maybe I should change those into JG 52 or JG 53 skins?

EAF19_Marsh Posted May 10, 2018 Posted May 10, 2018 Quote Thank you! From what I found, they were drawn back to Germany. They - or part - were with AGS at Kursk alongside JG52 but pulled back in August IIRC. They intercepted the first Schweinfurt raid as part of the RVT and stayed en masse there afterwards as a core home defence unit.

EAF19_Marsh Posted May 11, 2018 Posted May 11, 2018 Not sure if this helps, but a selection of [B&W] JG 3 G model pics. One is of a JG 3 109 G-6 at Kursk, probably II or III Gruppe which shortly followed I Gruppe (colour G-6 with R6) to Reich defence service by August '43. They probably had G-4s and a few G-6s at Kuban before transferring north for the Zitadelle campaign https://www.asisbiz.com/il2/Bf-109G/JG3.html

MeoW.Scharfi Posted May 19, 2018 Posted May 19, 2018 (edited) Wow! I like historical skins the most, especially Barkhorn skins and 4./52(even if u have to remove the cat) Edited May 19, 2018 by MeoW.Scharfi 1
Wolfram-Harms Posted May 19, 2018 Posted May 19, 2018 Here's another JG3 autumn skin (non-historical). A third may join on Monday. Spoiler 3 2
MeoW.Scharfi Posted May 25, 2018 Posted May 25, 2018 Spoiler The Camo upper right is really really good. The one with the dots. I know the default Skin has dots as well, but this one is different and better in my opinion. So if someone gets bored and wants to make a really cool skin for G6 and G14. => Upper right. Here the similiar one from DCS. 1
