Under New(er) Management.....

To the idea of "under new management", this is a paint of our (Team Daedalus) Bf 109G-6 that will be part of our future releases. The story behind the aircraft was a fascinating one (see here and here), but the short story is [FONT=arial,verdana,helvetica,sans serif]on August 27th, 1944, Captain Cantacuzino of the Rumanian Air Force flew[/FONT] this Bf 109G-6 from Budapest to Foggia, Italy with USAAF Lt. Col. James A. Gunn stashed in the rear fuselage to facilitate the repatriation of some 1100+ Allied POWs after Rumania switched sides. Lt. Col. Gunn was closed into the radio compartment, with no outside view, nor any way out, should there have been a problem.
The aircraft, originally appearing in Rumanian colors, was hastily painted with US markings to (hopefully!) convey their friendly intent. After a 2 hour flight, Captain Cantacuzino comes in to land at Foggia with what we can assume was a passenger that was eager to disembark.

Hallo friends,
with the french paints of the Heinkel He 162 I wanted to launch a new idea for other repainters:
why not to make repaints of surviving german aircrafts "under new management" ?
Some has survived until today, sadly most have been scrapped. Those surviving today are repainted
in german colors. I believe it might be interesting also to remember when thoe aircraft weared other than the german
uniform.

From what you can find on interweb, it would appear to be
KG(J) 54, the bomber unit KG54, after it had converted to operations with the Me262

Pete is right. The Blue White checkered "Reichsverteidigung" band around the fuselage and the "Toteskopf" (Skull) unit marking belong to 9.KG(J)54 (Kampfgeschader (Jagd)). As there was more need for fighters to defend Germany in this period of the war, several bomber units were converted into a fighter units. The bomber group KG54 became KG(J)54 at 1 October 1944 and was converted to Me262 from the same date.

The paint scheme is seen more often. Several aircraft from Kommando Nowotny were painted in the same scheme.

Cheers,

Hi BB686,

Yes, its the unfinished Groundcrew Bf110E beta model and the repaint an unpublished repaint I did for this model. Its a real pity that this model was never finished.

The image in the original post is a link to imgur. When you try to copy the image you will only copy the link. To get the image, you have to click on the "insert image" icon and copy the link in the "url" field.
I hope this makes some sense...........

France 1947 WIP

Over the years, I have painted many axis aircraft models in "under new Management" schemes. Also painted some allied aircraft flown by the axis forces. And I have painted everyone's with red stars .

Although its definitely a nice idea, I'm still too busy with painting liveries from aircraft still in use by their original users. And to be honest I am pretty sure I will not be able to finish my "to-do" list in this life.
But just like Steve I did some "new management" liveries in the past.

Hi Papi,

Both the Fw 190 and the He51 are FSX model. The first one is payware by Classics Hangar and the second one is freeware by Craig Richardson.

The Pfalz D.III is the freeware model by Stuart Green and the Avia S.199 is payware by Flight Replica's.

Another one which went "under new management is the Dutch Fokker G-1 below (freeware). Captured by the Germans in May 1940 and used as advanced trainer. Here shown in 1941 Luftwaffe markings.

Cheers,
Huub

The Me262 schemes are still all Work In Progress, still awaiting me too complete the details, rivets etc.

climbing out over the Pacific (1949)

My latest TWA constellation, an L-749 named Star of Portugal, resplendent in her overall aluminuim finish.

So far, I've managed to cover ALL the various paint schemes worn by TWA 'short fuselage' (as in NON super G) in one for m or another.. As for variations in cabin windows.. well.. there are STILL a couple I haven't tackled yet, and these were modifications made to existing airframes I believe.

But I'm VERY happy with this one.

Took up the 262 for a paint drying flight this evening.

Took up the 262 for a paint drying flight this evening.

Very nice! Looks much like this one:

I was lucky enough to be there on that day, in the first row, to watch this beautiful machine take wing! ANd I would love to relive that moment in the sim. Any chance of adapting your paint to this one: https://www.flugmuseum-messerschmitt.de/messerschmitt/aircraft/me262/index.html
Adolf Gallands comment after his first evaluation flight on the 262: Es ist, als ob ein Engel schiebt. As if an angel pushes. Thank you!
