For the FlyingIron Bf 109G-6, I've uploaded my repaint of the restored Bf 109G-6 WkNr.410077 (N42109) to Flightsim.to this evening. https://flightsim.to/file/57719/messerschmitt-bf-109g-6-wknr-410077-n42109

I'm still working on new (accurate) stenciling for the drop tanks, but I'll include that as part of an update when I'm able to get it completed. All of the other stenciling across the airframe has been completely redone to match the authentic stenciling on the real aircraft. The real aircraft, WkNr.410077 (N42109), is probably in my top three favorite warbird restorations.

JanKees,

It is from Deimos on the market place. So maybe not the best but, its not bad.

Very few skins for it.

Nice pic, but when I first saw it I became overly excited as I first thought, "OMG, somebody made a droop snoot!" Then I saw the guns and realized it was just a polished nose cap. Still, a good plane none the less. ;)
 
That being a 20th FG P-38, I remember reading that the 20th FG did that to the noses on their fighter-variant Lightnings for that very reason, making them resemble the droop snoot variants they also had in their squadron. As I recall, they thought it might trick the enemy into thinking they too were unarmed, like the droop snoot versions.

You know, I do remember that as well. I now completely understand how that may have worked.
 
Bringing last year's WWII Grand Champion award-winner back to Oshkosh. To be safe, when they flew it to Oshkosh last year, they did so by doing two 30-minute legs from Danville, Illinois to Oshkosh (Waukegan was likely the middle stop).
