Flight Replica's Me 109 Gustavs.

[SteveB]

I have just uploaded the first two of many 109 schemes, last count showed 42 different schemes underway, many just waiting for a few tweaks, a few still need a bit more work to complete. Bulgaria, Croatia, Finland, Hungary, Italy, Luftwaffe, POA, Romania, Swiss, and Yugoslavian. G2 to G14 types covered.

Here are piccies of the first two.

Steve

[SteveB]

The next two have just been uploaded, a Swiss G6 and a Croatian G2.

[aeronca1]

Very nice! I've been waiting for these!!!! Go Suomi!

[SteveB]

Very nice! I've been waiting for these!!!! Go Suomi!

up next mate along with another Swiss.

[SteveB]

The last of the Swiss Schemes and the first of the Finnish schemes have just been uploaded.

[SteveB]

Another two G-2's have just been uploaded. Next up will be a couple of Jg 54 G-6's.

[SteveB]

The two JG 54, G-6 schemes are now uploaded.

[aeronca1]

Steve, a relative on my mother's side was Gruppenkommandeur (Group Commander) I./JG54, Gerhard Homuth. I know he was shot down in Russia flying the Fw-190 and that in Africa, he flew the 109F. Would you have any info as to whether he ever flew a Gustav?

Lastly, a big THANK YOU for the Finnish G!!!!!

I will have a dig into my archives on JG54 and see if I can find anything. As for the Finnish, I have just about got another one ready, will get it done and up some time tomorrow.

[SteveB]

Instead of going too sleep I completed two Finnish schemes and have just uploaded them, G-2, MT-221, 1/HLeLv 24, April 1944, and G-6, Finland MT-501, HleLv34, 1944.

[SteveB]

Working on a post WW2 Romanian Airforce scheme circa 1949. And a 1943 G-4.

[SPman]

Now I'm going to have to buy this plane, to utilise all these lovely schemes. Bugger!

[mrogers]

They all look good, looking forward to the rest of them coming on! Thanks Steve!

[SteveB]

I have a photo recce G-8R2 scheme, this aircraft was based in Northern Italy in 1945.

[Blackbird686]

Very Nice, Steve. Now I have to dig up me copy of the Flight Replicas Bf-109G (and me "K" model too). Seeing as how I have already downloaded all the paint schemes you have posted for the Gustav and she's NOT on the airstrip yet.

Awesome!! Thank you!!

[SteveB]

Awesome!! Thank you!!

No worries I still have another Finnish one too finish and upload. But in the mean time I have just uploaded the Romanian 1949 G-10, and the Luftwaffe photo recce schemes.

Steve

[SteveB]

I have just completed the Romanian G-4, and Luftwaffe KG300 night fighter schemes and uploaded them.

[SteveB]

I have just uploaded a couple of G-6 schemes, Luftwaffe JG 6, and Croatian Airforce 1944.

[Blackbird686]

I have just completed the Romanian G-4, and Luftwaffe KG300 night fighter schemes and uploaded them.

WOW! I really like the look of the night fighter scheme. Whilst the Spitfire was a very clean design with smooth classic lines, the Bf-109 had that sinister "no nonsense" warplane look right down to the last rivet.

BB686:USA-flag:

[SteveB]

I have just uploaded the next two schemes, G-2 Bulgarian and a G-6 Luftwaffe JG 26.

[SteveB]

I have just uploaded a Hungarian G-2, and an RSI G-6.

[Rami]

Stalin,

(Sorry, old habits die hard!) I fixed the picture on the RSI, but the Hungarian repaint is actually uploaded instead of that repaint. You should be able to fix it yourself. If you can't, upload it again and I'll fix it.

[SteveB]

May the fleas of a thousand camels infest my unworthy armpits. I will re upload the RSI pack if you can remove the dodgy one. Sorry folks, I got distracted when uploading.

Just done that, thanks for the HU.

Glad people are enjoying them, there are still loads more too come.


Steve

[dhazelgrove]

Didn't there used to be some swastika tails available somewhere for the original paint schemes?

Dave

[SteveB]

If you check out the Flight replica's home page there is a downloads section that has it.

http://www.flight-replicas.com/

Steve

[SteveB]

I have just uploaded a couple of G-6's, Bulgarian Red 6 and Romanian 263.

[SteveB]

I have just uploaded the last Finnish and last RSI schemes.

[SteveB]

I have just uploaded two G-6's same aircraft different owners.

[SteveB]

Hungarian G-6, 1944. Russian Liberation Army, G-6 Tall tail. Have just been uploaded.

[SteveB]

Just uploaded 2 Luftwaffe G-6 schemes, JG51 and JG52.

[SteveB]

A G-6 Slovakian scheme, and a G-10 Luftwaffe JG77 scheme, have just been uploaded.

[Blackbird686]

Great!!! Keep em' coming...LOL. I have more Bf-109's now than any other plane in my virtual hangars. Really like the Night Fighter G-6 and the G-10 schemes. Superb, as always! :salute:

BB686:USA-flag:

[SteveB]

Due to me now starting too see leading edge slats in my sleep, I am having a couple of days off for bad behaviour.
34 skins uploaded so far and still about a dozen to complete. I have two or three G-14's that need a fair bit of work too complete them and will restart work on them once I have finished on the G-6 and G-10 models.



Steve

[SteveB]

Here's a couple of WIP shots of the previously mentioned schemes that still need some work, a G-10 late war brown and green, and, a G-14 night fighter.

[SteveB]

I have a G-2 Trop scheme, USAAF EB-102, 1943. Or will have once I can find that there bloomin filter textures :isadizzy:

[Blackbird686]

Excellent! I really like the G-10 and G-14 schemes. I think the darker green/black gives the Bf-109G-14 a "wicked warbird" look... Fictional or not. Those colours just "fit" the plane well.:salute:
I hate to sound like a broken record here, but I really appreciate when a talented painter comes along and adds some exceptional brushwork to a seasoned FS9 airplane such as the FR Bf-109. Nice to see some FS9 add-ons in the library. Thanks Steve!:applause::applause:

BB686:USA-flag:

[SteveB]

Here's another G-10 I have underway, still playing with the mottle on it.

[SteveB]

I just noticed that I did a silly on the RAF and Luftwaffe JG1 fuselage bands. the file attatched will fix both.

sorry about this was concentrating on the bloomin wing leading edge too much.

[huub vink]

Steve,

Thanks for these gems. I noticed you were not able to locate the tropical filter. Funny as they are on your favourite texture: "Wing Slats.bmp".
When you look at the default Finnish G6 you can't miss them.

Cheers,

I've bin refusing too look at wing slats for the past couple of days lol.
Thanks for the Heads up.

Steve

[SteveB]

I think this one is about done, will give it a final check in the morning and if all ok will upload it.

[SteveB]

I have another G-8R2 too upload, this aircraft was found in Norway at the end of the war.

[Rami]

Stalin,

All set on the fix. :salute:

[Duckie]

I have another G-8R2 too upload, this aircraft was found in Norway at the end of the war.

Great looking paint job! Love the weathering and the "noise" on the top surfaces. Makes it come alive and really gives it character. Thanks Steve. :applause: :applause:

I do like a used appearance on combat aircraft, been experimenting on these Gustav's since they came out a few years ago.

I have just uploaded the G-8R2 and the and the G-10 Luftwaffe schemes.

Steve

[SteveB]

My personal G-10 ride is a fictional Luftwaffe scheme.

[SteveB]

I have just about finished a Croat G-6 tall tail, from 1945, an ex JG 11 machine.

[SteveB]

Here's a preview of the Jg11 scheme.

[SteveB]

I am currently working on a G-10, JG 7, April 1945, Berlin scheme.

[SteveB]

I have just uploaded the G-6 tall tails for the Croatian Airforce 1945, and Luftwaffe JG 11. Same aircraft used by JG 11 and then transferred in early 45 too the Croatian's.

I will be uploading a couple of G-10's next, heres an update on the JG 7 scheme.

[SteveB]

I have just uploaded the G-10, JG 7, Berlin 1945 scheme.

[SteveB]

I have just about finished the G-10 Croatian white 8, 1945, and will be uploading tomorrow along with a Luftwaffe G-10 white 57, 1945.

[SteveB]

I have just uploaded a G-6 Bulgarian white 7, 1945, and a JG53 G-10, late 1944.

[SteveB]

I have just uploaded two more G-10's, Croatian white 8, and Luftwaffe white 57.
That's 43 uploaded and 2 more too come, I have decided too take a break from 109's after the 45th scheme has been uploaded.

[SteveB]

During the war a number of Me-109's made forced landings in Sweden. Some of these aircraft were evaluated and flown by the Swedish Air Force and Saab. The aircraft included a Me-109E of unknown sub type, a F-2 and two G-10's. It is unknown if any of these aircraft were repainted in Swedish markings when tested. This is hypothetical color scheme of a Swedish Bf.109G-10. 0297 it was Hans Preschlers and it came down at Bulltofta .

Just uploaded.

[nik112]

Hi Steve
Have you uploaded it? page 4, post# 51 cause i can't find it.
cheers

My personal G-10 ride is a fictional Luftwaffe scheme.

[SteveB]

Not yet, I have plans for a couple of G-10's fictional schemes with the tulip nose. As far as I recall the tulip was only fitted too K models. But for those who do not own the K series I thought I would do a couple of G's. I have already found some more part done Gustav schemes so my 45 total has already gone out of the window.


Steve

[nik112]

Thanks Steve, but also i want to ask if you're planning to do some skins for " k "

cheers

[SteveB]

Thanks Steve, but also i want to ask if you're planning to do some skins for " k "

Planning yes , done no. G-14 and K's will be done, but not in the near future. Taking a break from 109's for a week or two, once I have cleared the G-6 and G-10's.

Hey Steve, Check your PM's, mate.

BB686:USA-flag:

Cheers mate. I am currently reworking the cammo and generally messing around on this 1952 Yugoslavian G-10 scheme.

[SteveB]

just got the insignia too tweak and wing leading edges, and its done.

[SteveB]

An update on the fictional Red nose scheme. Still undecided if the Reich defence band is a bit too much colour on this one.

[Blackbird686]

The Germans really had some unusual paint schemes for the Bf-109 as well as the Fw-190 and 190D variants. Probably some of the most colourful warplanes in the skies during WWII.

BB686:USA-flag:

[SteveB]

Here's a couple of the G-10's if been working on over the past few days.

[NAMBUS]

I have a G-2 Trop scheme, USAAF EB-102, 1943. Or will have once I can find that there bloomin filter textures :isadizzy:


Thank you very much for all these Steve.
Brilliant work on a great model.
Will you still be uploading this one in due course?
I like like the USAF "recreational toys" schemes.

[SteveB]

I have EB102 in both the red scheme applied in Tunisia where it was captured and in the olive green and grey scheme in which it was evaluated and written off in a landing accident in the USA. Both will be uploaded after i've finished playing with the G-10.
Steve

[SteveB]

I think I'm about done with this one.

[SteveB]

I have just uploaded the two fictional red and black nosed along with a late 1944 JG 7, and 1945 POA G-10's.

Not a problem Steve... :salute: Check your e-mails. Use the link that I sent, the pics come out a lot better than just clicking on the attachments.

Hermann Graf also flew a Bf109G-14, as well as a Focke Wulf FW-190A with the same basic paint scheme.

<--- "Scratches head...:isadizzy: wonders where the funds are going to come from to build yet another hangar for all of these Bf-109G's"

Cheers,

[SteveB]

I do still have 8 part done schemes and colour views of a few more. :blind::isadizzy::icon_lol:

[SteveB]

There is this one for example, interesting aircraft, it carried a passenger instead of radio's.

[SteveB]

My final Romanian scheme.

[SteveB]

And there is going to be this old G-6, JG27 scheme.

[Blackbird686]

You know what... I just drug out that trusty ol' Bf-109F the other day, dusted it off, (it's a bit on the glossy side). It was like finding a plane that had been lost for years.... but it fired right up.:icon_lol:. It would be a shame not to have some of your paints on her Huub, and as far as paperwork, that's old hat... you can just fill out all that stuff online now. <-- (I just had to throw that in for fun)

For those who missed them, years ago I did these two. They are still available in the library here.

These aircraft are from 7./JG53 stationed at Sicily in 1943. Each individual aircraft featured a "Ace of Spades" cartoon which occupied the space between the cockpit and the aircraft number. The most well known was perhaps "Seemann" flown by Georg Amon.

Just a few bits left too do on this one.

[SteveB]

This one is also about done.

[vonernsk]

Hey!

Thanks so much to both of you for addressing the lack of repaints for the outstanding Bf-109 models from Flight Replica. Very aware that Ye Olde FS2004 is gradually dimming in re-painters and modellers minds and your efforts are greatly appreciated, researched and flown. Thanks you both very much.

Huub, the Von Werra paint would be a very nice to have, thanks for digging out the great stars of the Luftwaffe.

Mal

[SteveB]

Glad you like them Mal. I'm starting too tire on the 109 paints, I first started on some of these schemes over 5 years ago and have been playing with them on and off since. After the next batch of uploads I will be having a 109 holiday for a while. I have plans on the G-14 and K's but they will be in the future.

Steve

[SteveB]

I have four Luftwaffe G-10 schemes now completed. I will be uploading them in the next couple of hours. That just leaves the Fin G-2 MT213 and Yugoslavian G-10 white 44, which I will be finalising tomorrow.

I think its a good idea after the party & sleep to start with the wop/a2a fw190's

cheers:sleep::mixedsmi:

Close but no. I will be completing the layered masters for Kazonori's excellent FW189. Which I will upload for other people too use.

Steve

[SteveB]

Although he never flew it(only 109 E/E-7/F/F-4-->FW-190) a Novotny what if G-10 could be a ringer

Something like that*

Roland

* somebody made that for me time ago.After a computer crash I lost the sources and the nice author.my late friend (died 2 years ago in his 94's )was flying with Novotny in Russia

Roland I have been thinking about your request ? And remember well the story you told me of your old friends service in the Luftwaffe. That is why I did the F4 for you both. So I offer this fictional Novotny G-10 skin. And will lift a glass in memory of your friend. This is not going for public release as I consider it a present too Roland, but thought I'd share a few screenshots.

I went for a 1944 cammo scheme as it was a G-10.

[Matt Wynn]

reminds me i have a few Kommando Nowotny and JV44 schemes to work on.... :icon_lol: work keeps diving in the way at the minute, sod and his bloody laws... (anyone got a rifle chambered for .338 Lapua that i can use to get Messrs. Sod and Murphy? failing that 7.62 Short will do...)

on my JV44 list are Ho229 (Skyunlimited) and Me262's (again, Skyunlimited/Flight Replicas), not to mention the A2A FW190A- series as a 'Training bird' :icon_lol:

[Matt Wynn]

..... One from me and another JV44 variant from Stalin :salute:.... Menacing, ain't she? :icon_lol:

[Blackbird686]

That scheme looks really good on the Bf-109, Matt. I have a couple of Fw-190D's painted with the red stripes on the bottom like that... "Red 5" and "Red 12". Both skins are for the A2A Focke Wulf 190 Dora... but a fitting tribute to the Bf-109, and you're right... she looks quite menacing. Nice work fellas...:ernae:

BB686:USA-flag:

[SteveB]

Well now BB686 you can have a couple of G-10's trying on the colours, totally fictional and just a bit a fun.
Here's my version so far. All stripes courtesy of Matt apart from the wing leading edges and the leading edge wing slats which he knows I like painting.

Steve

[Blackbird686]

Not really sure what the red stripes on the bottom of the plane were about... but I believe it had something to do with pilot training squadrons. I think the Bf-109 wears them quite well, actually, and betwixt Steve and Matt, I'm sure they will look as if they naturally belongs there. :salute:

At least one use was as airfield Air CAP for the Me-262 bases for landing and take off, the most vulnerable times. The red bottoms and white stripes were to "help" the AA gunners distinguish between the "friendlies" and the ones they should be firing at!!

From an article re JV44:

"Five Fw 190D-9s and D-11s were attached to JV44, the Platzschutzstaffel (Airfield protection squadron), headed by Leutnant Heinz Sachsenberg, to provide air cover for takeoffs and landings. Flights were to be undertaken in a two-aircraft Rotte up to altitudes of 500 metres, covering both the Me 262s taking off or landing and monitoring the surrounding skies for Allied fighters."

[Matt Wynn]

Blackbird, i think they were a propaganda tool in JV44's case.... their pilots were anything but trainees... look at some of the names that flew in the Squadron... Galland, Steinhoff, Bär, Döring... etc....Galland was the Commanding Officer with Bär being his 2I/C....

they also carried some nice mottos on the fuselage side...

[SteveB]

Still working on a motto on mine.

[SteveB]

Or in German.

[Matt Wynn]

pics taken in FSX.... but this is JV44 Grey-Green Scheme and meeting it's Fictional Sister Squadron NJV (Nachtjagdverband) 88...

[gaucho_59]

Or in German.

Perhaps... if you mean "The pigs have stolen my Dora"... Die Schweine haben (or hat) meine Dora gestohlen...
probably ... haben better... because you don't say even in English... The pigs had stolen my Dora...does not make sense .... unless of course,
it is connected to some dependent clause... like "by the time I found out... (then it would need an adverb like
"already".... [like "the pigs had already stolen...etc.)

At any rate... the way you have it, NO native German speaker would say it... remember Germans might say a lot of wrong things...
but always grammatically correct... lol ... Unlike some of us English speakers... They never say "she don't" or "you was".... or "Theirs"... for there is,
or such other barbarisms like "it's" instead of "its" (the grammatical definition of such things)...

Even folks with a grade school education always use the right syntax... German just does not make any sense to them otherwise... No such thing as "pidgin" German
like most local people speak in Hawaii.... mo'betta you pay attention brah... shuckaaa...

i swear one day i'll get the hang of communicating with you buddy :icon_lol::icon_lol:

I am experiencing being totally non-plus'd.... can't figure out what you mean... Is that a positive or negative statement? :isadizzy::isadizzy::isadizzy::isadizzy::isadizzy:

[SteveB]

Sorry didn't learn my German in High school, learnt it on the streets in Germany over 40 years ago and hardly used it since. I wasn't 100 percent happy with my motto something seemed wrong with it. So thought I would post and see if anyone would pick me up on it. Thank you gaucho_59 Die Schweine haben meine Dora gestohlen !!! should do it.


Steve

PS "No such thing as "pidgin" German" begs the question so what do German pidgin's speak ? ;).

"Pidgin" Pigeon, perhaps?

McCluck!

Dave

[Blackbird686]

Mottos and slogans aside... I like the paint scheme on the Bf-109 you guys are working on. The dark grey and white version looks quite unusual and fits the 109 just as well as the red and white. :salute:

the dictionary my friend.... Pidgin... is the term used by English seamen in olden days to describe
the smattering of English... and other languages used by natives in many ports which
was Lingua franca amongst stevedores to communicate with international crews...
words like "finito" for finished... "kaput" for the same... and "mo'betta"... the elocution O.K. etc. became part
of a lexicon that.... curiously got carried away throughout the world... even my native
Uruguay.... stevedores and whores there... all could speak pidgin... much needed for their
livelihoods... I lived in Hawaii for many years... went to Medical school there... and most of the local folks... speak what they call
Hawaiian pidgin English... (not really... but the local dialect and English inflections that probably came their way by the same means
American whalers probably... the port of Lahaina was THE STOP before going out there to chase whales )
Nothing to do with pigeons at all..... reminds me of someone who called me a racist when
I used the word niggardly... in a group... because he thought it was a race-toned remark...
I invited him to the dictionary too... niggardly means STINGY and CHEAP... and has
nothing to do with race... :wiggle::mixedsmi::wavey:

So, no birds here at all....

[Matt Wynn]

and one of the most common words (if you can call it that) 'OK!' actually is Greek in origin... OK being Όλα καλά literally 'All Good' :icon_lol:

back to '109s.... if anyone wants the JV44 i did and the fictional squadron NJV88 scheme give me a shout and i'll upload somewhere :salute: The NJV88 scheme (Stalin pointed this out last night) when the tank is fitted looks like a 'False Canopy' from the underside... lucky break there :icon_lol:

[SteveB]

I'm still playing in the paint shop with mine, it's slowly getting there.

[vonernsk]

Thanks Matt. That would be nice. Something to lighten the grim grey colours of the Luftwaffe in its dying days. BTW are you attending the Flt Sim extravaganza at Cosford on Sat 19 Oct?

i'm considering heading there for it, usually some bargains to be had at the shows... got to see when i'm in Greece next, Sept i think.... so should be back by then... :wiggle:

[Desert Rat]

Steve,

many thanks for these, haven't downloaded them yet as I still have to dig out my '109' disc and reinstall them, but will get that done this week, slowly getting a small FS mojo going again.

Oh, and thanks Matt for joining the party. Looking forward to the jets too.

TTFN,
Jamie

[SteveB]

Cheers Jamie, glad you like them, I've been playing with this one a bit more.

[SteveB]

Here are some current works in progress, mainly G-10's but the odd G-6 thrown in as well.

Steve

[SteveB]

Forgot a couple.

[SteveB]

Also these are almost done.

[Blackbird686]

Nice work Steve. Looks like Hermann Graf's G6 is coming along really well from the pic. :medals:

BB686:USA-flag:

[SteveB]

The Graf just needs the odd edge tweaking and the leading edges on the wing cammo sorting, working on the G-4 Fin 213 scheme at the mo.

Steve

[mrogers]

Thanks Steve, they all look good. Have downloaded some of them.
