Included are 5 (+1) skins for the He-177, each comes as a blank, a swastika only, and a swastika + balken version.
Quick note: In this pack I've tried to work around the issue of the
non-skinnable sections around the cockpit, which is why in some of the skins the areas around the cockpit look a bit strange. These non-skinnable areas can be changed by changing the default skin, and if anyone is interested in any of these skins without said workaround, just contact me. Naturally, if the model is updated at some point and these areas fixed, then I'll update the skins accordingly.
This first skin might be a bit redundant, since it's largely the default skin, except that the bottom colour is darker and closer to the historical RLM 65 (instead of the default skin's RLM 76), so if anyone's interested, here you go.
Next is an attempt to recreate mottle seen on some late war A-5's, and similar to what can sometimes be found on A-3's, I'm unsure as to whether this was factory-applied, though I think it's more likely it was applied later by ground-crews.
Next, an interpretation of this aircraft, photographed at an unknown date and location (probably France, autumn 1944). It appears to have been delivered with a mottled paint-job, and later to have had fine lines of RLM 76 scribbled over the upper surfaces (sometimes called "Wellenmuster"). Source:

Next, the famous blotched scheme of 4./KG 100, as photographed at Chateaudun in early 1944, during Operation Steinbock. In this interpretation (of which there is a plethora out there) the blotches are RLM 76, over a base of RLM 74 that extends very far down the fuselage, the bottom colour is RLM 65. A version without the masking-tape is also included.
Finally a scheme in the manner of A-5's of 5./KG100, photographed in June 1944 at their base in Aalborg, where they were being retired due to lack of fuel. They display a base of RLM 70/71 over RLM 65, with RLM 76 scribbled over the upper surfaces. In a photo of the tail of one machine it appears that the swastika had been dampened down by partly spraying over the white with green, before the "Wellenmuster" was applied.

https://www.sas1946.com/main/index.php/topic,34533.0.html, that mod drastically improves the Greif's (perhaps somewhat poor by default) landing gear.
