Thought I'd give myself a custom skin to celebrate that I am now a flight leader (artwork by Stable Diffusion 3😞

I've christened her "Helga" 'cause I'm gonna find myself a nice German bird to conquer.

 

Dunno why, but the name Helga (and also Heinrich) immediately triggers some Return to Castle Wolfenstein memories for me. Helga von Bülow...Ahh that were the times back then...

She's cute... the only thing I notice is that the white theatre ID on the top wing would have been gone after the invasion stripes were painted out on the upper surfaces. They just sprayed over them with OD Green, or rubbed them off on the Bare Metal planes.

That's the first FPS I ever played. A true classic for sure.

Yeah Helga has some stereotypically German ring to it... hence my choice. Was just a tad too late for Wolfenstein myself though; CoD2 was my first FPS.

Ah thanks - I wasn't sure what was painted out and what wasn't. With so many pictures and drawings concentrating on the D-Day paint schemes, I found it hard to find any post-July references.

 

Nice campaign so far, I'm enjoying it 👍

Guess what... After a quick look, I found out I was wrong.

It looks to me like the white theatre stripe was left on the OD paint scheme, and the black stripe was left on the bare metal. Go figure. I guess I'll have to edit the July '44 + OD skin that was included with the campaign.

 

I'm glad you are enjoying it, keep up the good work! :salute:

Mission 7 has two errors in the text:
