This is a repaint only for the Flight Replicas Bf-109G-6. My stab at Oblt. Kurt Gabler's natural metal Bf.109G-6 "Red 8", an aircraft featured in the Eagle Editions publication, "Jagdeschwader 300, Volume 1". Red 8 was a Bf.109G-6 flown by Oblt. Kurt Gabler, III./JG300, in July 1944. From photographs this aircraft appears to have been sanded back from its original RLM74/75/76 finish, reportedly in an effort to increase its speed for intercepting RAF Mosquitos. Traces of paint are visible on the wing root and base of the elevators, and the swastika has clearly been sanded down, leaving only a faint trace. Note that the gun troughs and various access panels appear darker than the rest of the aircraft because they are composed of darker metals (e.g., the gun troughs were iron). This same effect is seen in photographs of a sanded down Bf109G belonging to the National Air and Space Museum (NASM), adding support to the claim that ?Red 8? was natural metal rather than light grey." I have only included the Textures which I have redone.Install readme is included in the.zip. Hope you enjoy this repaint and I'm looking forward to seeing some screenies of it in the future..
I would like to thank Mike Cyul and all involved at Flight Replicas and Sky Unlimited for putting together such a fantastic package. This was an absolute joy for me to repaint and I'm looking forward to doing more in the near future..Thanks m8's Sincerely, Randy Lee Foss (aka.
