The Aces Skins WIP
« on: April 27, 2017, 04:13:13 AM »

Hi All,

By the great idea by SAS~Bombsaway, is for me to make another screenie forum. Except this time showing off my own personal up and coming works for the skin collections here at SAS. I hope you all enjoy what I provide as time goes on.

It's great to be back at it after 8 years...

Up and coming packs include for the D-9 to D-15 series fighters;

> Out of Paint, Out of Options (50 Skins) (Fw-190D-9 - Fw-190D-15)
> Jagdfliegerschule '45 (14 Skins) (Fw-190D-11)

Great skins and a fine selection for everyone to fly in!
Thank you very much ! They look super


I just have to ask , what are some of your ideas.
In some skins , I notice you have this thin reddish colored line running along the side of the fuselage, just below the cockpit.
Some skins have alot more of this reddish color paint.
What does it represent?

I don't recall ever seeing any very late production Luftwaffe aircraft on the assembly lines, even when built in the underground factories, as
having a red color as a base primer color.
Many of them (from photo evidence) , I noticed they were in just bare metal , some others had a greenish/yellow putty covering the rivets areas,
Some aircraft just had an overall spray of dark green paint on the top areas and light-blue color on the bottom, with no other camouflage paint used.
--- Since you are creating these skins I would like to request to see your version of skins with these 2 types of colorings, if its possible?
--- An overall dark green top areas color and a bare-metal version. Not polished metal as in the looks of allied airplanes, but plain bare metal color.

I know that on panzer tanks they used a red color paint on the metal hulls (some type of primer protection) , and some were painted in
a yellow color, and there  was some reports that even some panzers went into battle just using this overall  reddish colored paint in them without
any camouflage, or very little camouflage painted on them.
Is your idea of the red-colored paint , coming from these late production panzers?
Its a cool idea.

You've just answered it Max, the red line is primer used on tanks and army vehicles. This is purely a ''What if'' skin pack. It shows off the bare essentials if the war had continued past May 1945 and into November of that year. On field paints would be used, anything that could make a camo would be used on the airstrips themselves.

Again this is my imagination on what the piston fighters may have looked like if the war continued and showing off the primary production lines shifting from the piston age to the jet fighters that NEEDED the remaining RLM paints. It's believable to an extent because you bleed dry the less important assets of their equipment and commit 100% resources (Including paint) to modern designs.

The start of something that NEEDED doing...the D-12 prototype....

She'll be fitted to the D-13 as the D-12 doesn't exist in IL2.

After 8 years this skin needed desperate replacing. Over time she aged but soldiered on, the peeps at SAS gave it a new breath of fresh air with a new internals layer but it wasn't enough.



However, all that is about to change! Tomorrow morning you will get to fly the SOLE Example of this beautiful aircraft as her new skin.
