That beetle is just priceless! :applause: :applause::applause: I wonder.. maybe I could paint my Toyota family car as Saburo Sakai's Zero? .... On second thought, I'm not sure my wife would approve of it..

Just a thought

have you tried their website direct? They might have it. I used to have their website but it took so long to download I deleted it, so I can't help you there but I do seem to recall one done somewhere.

UPDATE; Try this site; http://www.thefreeflightsite.com/Aircraft_CFS2_2.htm about the ninth plane down is a plane for Adolf Galland. I believe that the author/creator is a member of ISG4 so it may work, or else you now have the plane to download.
 
MG's Bf109E-4N

Hi Maxstuka,

the link given to you by Fibber at thefreeflightsite.com downloads Mauro Giacomazzi's Bf109E-4N. It comes in Adolf Galland's livery during the Battle of Britain, it's more detailed than the IS4G's older model and offers better fps than the AH's model. It even features working wing slats!

It is the first addon Emil I ever downloaded.

Rami, wasn't it also uploaded here for preservation?

Cheers!

AHBF-109E

There is a nice Galland skin for the excellent now-freeware AH BF-109e. Why not go for that? It is a superior plane compared to the older Is4g version.

Hi Max, if you would still like a Galland skin for the IS4G 109E it will take me about a week to dig up my original templates and do a new one. Let me know if you want me to go ahead

I need the typical skin of the bf109E4 with the yellow nose, I use this model because IS4G make the B/E3/E4 and E7 models and They are exelent for Ia, You make nice skins, and there is a small pack to IS4G ,I am using the texture.jg51. of this pack.
I need bf109E that will be aesthetically well combinable with the he-111 to who should escort.

I love destroy squads when they are taking off from the airfield and I see the group with distintive bf109E yellow nose. :icon31:

The Muncheberg texture is nice, but it is for E-7 serie, and the spiner is not yellow.There is not the classic bf109E.
Model can be do, of the same squad that Galland, if it is more easy to you.

The textures like griffon or JG3_Wasp_BoB is better for E-3 serie it is more like old camouflage of the bf109E.So there are small textures with yellow nose for bf109E4 and 1 only like this old camouflage for E3.

I am using now the textures of the picture that I upload.But the texture.jg51 is not for E-4, It is for E-3!.So I think that you can make a galland or similar squad skin to replace this E3 texture that I am using in bad.

For the new users.This texture and model can be download there.This E series have damage textures than can be activate in the .dp file.

Hi Max,

Here is a screenshot of my Galland repaint. I have used a scheme of RLM02/Dunkelgrun with RLM02 mottling. If this skin is ok with you send me a PM with your email address. If anyone else would like this skin I can upload it,

Cheers,

I would like it!

Do upload WD22!

There's never an end to repaints, to make CFS2 more attractive! I collected all of your Corrado La Posta's Bf109E repaints, they are so nicely detailed!

I'll upload updated prop textures for most aircraft designers soon, IS4G's best models are on my list.

And thank you! :applause: :applause: :applause:

Cheers!

I think that if you "darking" the green tones, and the engine air imput getout the yellow,meaby you would be better skin, more similar to AH texture.

you have obeyed his word.If you want to experiment with what I said, do it, but directly upload this.

you have obeyed his word.Thanks.:salute:

Yes, I fully agree with you, Maxstuka. :ipepsi2:

I don't know when this opinable fashion of displaying aircrafts with over faded colours started, but I do not share the same enthusiasm for them. I can agree only if we want to reskin an aircraft fighting on the North African front, tropical Southern Pacific, other Far East tropical regions and, perhaps, overworked "war weary" Russian Front aircrafts.

Considering the high rate rotation of new aircrafts, due to both the urge to send to front lines better, more effective versions and replacing heavy losses, it is simply impossible that every other WWII aircraft livery was extremely sun faded, as large repaint amounts uploaded to the library want to represent. Since I mentioned before the Russian front, just the fact that Ost Front planes were routinely over painted in white for heavy snow winter season, must have kept the dark summer season camouflages fresher than expected.

While I agree that "factory new" looks aren't very realistic either, as oil/smoke/fuel/rain stains and paint chipping on the most exposed parts soon marked new paint jobs, therefore they are a must for a combat aircraft, I do not believe sunfading was so diffused, particularly on Northern European fronts.

The rare WWII colour pictures not always portray extremely faded aircrafts and a careful look at the big amount of B/W pictures still available, do not show very often excessively faded aircrafts. I also tend to think over faded colour pictures look like that more because of the age of the picture itself, rather than the actual look the subject had in real life.

So, please WD22, let me join Maxstuka in commenting that Galland's Bf109E-4N BoB livery needs to be darkened for an historical realistic representation. I think Maxstuka is also right when he points out that the DB601N compressor air intake, on the side of the engine cowl, was painted in Hellblau and not included in the frontal identification Gelb area.

Of course, all of the above reflects only my personal opinion and for no reason it is meant to criticise someone else's volunteer work. Please, take them instead as suggestion remarks.

Cheers!

Thanks for your constructive comments.

Point taken about the air intake.

I was working from a colour profile of one of Gallands planes which showed dunkelgrun and RLM02. I can easily change that to Scwartzgrun and dunkelgrun but I believe the mottling is still RLM02. There is also a dunkelgrun area behind the yellow panels that I have not replicated. The colours I used were not deliberately faded but highlighted due to the lack of model shine. If anyone could shine the model that would be great.

Back to the drawing board!

Thank you, WD22 for your work!

I didn't mean you deliberately faded the colours, I couldn't know anyway, I just grabbed the opportunity to make a comment on this subject that I kept a lid on for several years. Apparently, I was the only one disliking excessively faded liveries, when not realistic. Original IS4G's Emil skins looked way too faded to me as well.
Even if I greedily downloaded every repaint I could put my paws on, I still think some splendidly accurate, detailed repaints were ruined by eccessive fading effect.

I fully agree with you Galland's aircraft fuelage mottling must be lighter, since in most cases it was field hastily sprayed on. After the first phases of the BoB, Luftwaffe pilots realized their Emils were too visible with their fuselages painted in plain Hellblau only. I recall a famous Emil paint scheme, off the top of my head I think done to JG.2 "Richtofen" planes, where the green paint mottling was splashed very hastily with paintbrushes over the fuselage, showing all of the brush marks.

I am also afraid it will be impossible shining this model due to its age, unless there'a major mdl update done. I tried shining it a while ago with Morton/Ivan Hsu's utilities, but I always got an error in return. Considering there are already AH's, Giacomazzi's and Mizoguchi's Emils available, built a few years after this one, I don't think it'll be worth the effort.

Yet IS4G's model is still great for its framerate performance. It can really be displayed in very large numbers without considerable fps loss occurring. From combat distance it still looks nice, expecially when re-skinned with your repaints.

Cheers!

I'm sure when supplies are tight the paint might get neglected. But as any hunter or anyone who has played paintball knows, faded camo is not a good thing. Faded paint would be easier to spot. now patches where damage was repaired and quickly painted over would be more realistic. even missed match paint. i do remember reading that some would just get primer coats in combat conditions.

We only seek a good skin typical to use the IS4G as companions or objectives in game.And it is much better to have a skin more simple, that you can recognize at a safe distance, that one thing at that distance is seen as black by many details.
