Next in line...Messerschmitt Bf109 C/D model for Fs9/CFS2

[huub vink]

Although already available in the original download, I created this one, as I thought the sharkmouth was a bit too small at the included one. The teeth from the original aircraft matched the locations of the exhausts, so I adjusted the teeth from this repaint to match the exhaust pipes of the model.



The "running-nose raven", was originally the marking of 2./JG71 "Chamberlain-Staffel", but became the marking of II./JG51 Mölders when the group was renamed.



JagdGruppe 102 was active during the invasion of Poland. Hauptmann Johannes Gentzen, who was leading this group, was the first German Luftwaffe Ace of WWII. This colourful aircraft was painted after the box-art work from the Sword Bf109 D kit.



After their successful campaign against Poland J.Gr.102 was moved to the border with France. On 6 November the unit lost 4 aircraft, when they encountered some Curtiss P-36 (H-75) Hawks from GC 11/5. Most other aircraft from J.Gr.102 could barely escape, badly damaged. It was showed the Bf109 D was obsolete. J.Gr.102 was withdrawn from the frontline, equipped with Bf110 fighters and became ZG2.

After the Bf109 D was withdrawn as front line fighter the aircraft remained active as nightfighter. Originally most Jagdgeschwader had one or more Staffel(n) which was specialised in night operations. Jagdgeschwader 2 Richthofen has a complete Group (IV(N)JG2) with 3 Staffeln (squadron) which flew night operations. They mainly flew the Bf109 D and were active over Northern Germany, Denmark and Norway.



The history goes on as after their role as nightfighter was over they were used as trainers and for familiarisation flight.

Hi Huub,
Nice one!

That does look more accurate.....although I think you may have missed a couple of rivets.......he he.

(And just noticed that the aileron tabs aren't red on yellow 5?)

Shame this Swiss shark mouth wasn't on the C/D models, but only on the E models..


Cheers

Huub,

those repaints look absolutely stunning. White 3 looks particularly beautiful. Looking forward to adding them to the hangar.

Many thanks,
Taff.

Great work Shessi and great repaints Huub. Is there a layered paint kit available for these?

Cazzie

[huub vink]

Hi Cazz,

Yes there is! There is a layered file done by the guys from SAS. Its quite nice and I used it as the base for my personal paintkit. You could get my personal Paintkit, but its such a mess that don't think it will be of any use for you. More that half the layers don't have a name (beside "layer .."). A part has names in my own personal slang....., a part has Dutch names and some have a understandable English name like "thingie" or "rumble"........

I'm currently at work, and I'm pretty busy in private life. But I will try to send you the SAS kit later today/this week.

EDIT: Cazz, When you still use the same e-mail address, you should have received mail.

Cheers,
Huub

Huub,
These are great re-paints for a much neglected period of the Bf-109's history. Thanks for your outstanding treatment of thes 'D' models. I particularly admire the manner in which the semi-matt paintwork also gives a very clear metallic feel to the overall finish. Your version of the 'Shark mouth' works very well.

'Papi's' panels are the icing on the cake for all of my 'D' and 'E' models. Being an 'eye-candy' addict, I also always enable start-up and engine smoke, plus exhaust effects when engine fires up and runs. The model already has the leading edge moving slotted flaps which add to the overall effects when observing landings. If anyone wants the settings and type of effects I utilised they can contact me direct.

Thanks again to all who created, painted and panelled this little gem. Happy Christmas to all (if any) readers.
