:jump:Seven (fourteen if you count the winter textures!) new Hornisse skins available courtesy of John "BRAVO/4" Whelan. These were done on request and have been uploaded with his kind permission. Many thanks John, these are greatly appreciated!:ernae:
 
Hello Chaps, I came across this brief snippet of info which implies that KG40 used this bird briefly

Kampfgeschwader 40
II. Gruppe: 4./KG40
In late 5.43 began conversion to Me 410 destroyers. In 6.43 redesignated V./KG2

But I can't find any more info on their operational history with KG40.

Does anyone have any ideas? It would make a great addition to the Sea Eagle if I could validate this info with more background.
 
Hi Jeff,
I already have two of those profiles, the reason I didn't do any was because they all used flame dampers, which the model doesn't have! If your not fussy I could send you something?

BTW mailled you on the other subject!
 
Hi John - I'm not fussy, either! ;-) If I were you, I'd upload them anyway albeit with a caveat.
 
Looks like standard day camouflage of RLM 74 and 75 on the uppersurfaces, with 66 sprayed over the standard 76 underneath.
 
That's what I was driving at, you put it better than I did.:icon_lol:

These appear to have the greyish "Type 5" fighter scheme and the others look to have the greenish standard splinter scheme - all sprayed over RLM-76. Are they both correct? Either would be welcome, but it makes you wonder what the artist was thinking. Was he copying a photograph or a description or just guessing?
 
Probably a bit of both. There is a limit to how much you can deduce from poor quality black-and-white photographs, especially when the tone of some of the colours is virtually identical. Orthochromatic film, which was still used a fair bit, doesn't help at all either as it renders the colours completely differently to panchromatic film...
