Does anyone know whether this repaint has been done before for the A2A Messerschmitt Bf109 E-3? If not I will upload it.

Cheers,
Huub

Not that I am an expert, but I don't recall seeing that paint uploaded before. Looks interesting and would be a good add to the Emil liveries.

Mr.Bob
 
I would still like that one though Huub I have pretty much all the messerschmitt repaints and I don't recognise that one to be honest!
 
Sorry I forgot to describe the subject. This repaint depicts the Bf109 E-1 flown by Gruppenkommandeur Major Gotthardt Handrick from I./JG26 in special markings used during Luftwaffe summer exercises in 1939.

Cheers,
Huub
 
Its available for those who want it > link

Gotthardt Handrick was a gold medalist during the Olympics from 1936. He was in charge of Jagdgruppe 88 from the Condor Legion during the Spanish Civil war and was commanding several fighter units from the Luftwaffe during WWII. Handrick survived the war and died in May 1978 at an age of 69 years old.

The texures were made using the more than excellent paintkit made by Martin "ICDP" Catney. The included propeller texture is done by Bob "BananaBob" Rivera.

Cheers,
Huub

Personally I think this is a great paint, I'd love to see more if you have any HUub, I have a lot of paints for this aircraft but you can never have too many right!
 
I just put it in & no joy did not show up.

Jamie,

Did you downloaded the correct version? The FSX and FS2004 version use different file names and the FSX version is in dds dtx5 format, which will not work in FS9.

JAMIE i also had problems then noticed that the texture folder is named "texture.hadri" whereas in the .cfg in the readme it says "handri". Renamed the folder everything ok. Great repaint Huub.:applause:
 
Oops sorry :redface:. I will try to be more careful next time!

As I can't repair the uploaded package anymore, the correct entry for the aircraft.cfg file should be:
