Fabulous!! Simply fabulous good looking paintjobs!
I really like your style.
Much congratulations on a fine job.

BTw, sorry I missed out on your last question, but I don´t think teh Condor Legion had all metal
looking Me-109s, but painted metal. Although there could have been a few done exactly as you
have painted. So I will accept your fine skin work. Looks great.
If you are ever interested I can always send you some links to get some great PDF books about the
 Condor Lergion with in-depth history, rare photos and color-plates for airplanes.
Send me a PM if you want.

Cheers
MAX

thank you max, you make me proud of my work 'cause i really like your impressive amount of high quality skins, they are simply too much and too nice!  too bad my spare time for pc and skinning is soo much low now, damn RL and scw pack had much stops and many reworking when possible, tonight i found another stupid error i made on colors  :'(
you're right on scw planes, usually no NMF for kondor, but a number of references confirm the aluminium paint for the 3 prototypes, at least for first operations.. my V-3 was a compromise, only now i've found a maybe good solution something like this

(hint hint  wonder what plane will have a bonus pair of skin?)

btw, thank you so much in advance for references, pdf are always interesting and maybe i'll avoid other errors!

Thanks for your kind compliments on my paints. I love doing these things and then fly them in the
great IL-2 skies. Adds a new dimension to the words "Flying art". Cherish your art good buddy, and always
do them for yourself FIRST, later you can share with us if you feel like it. Because if there is no LOVE in the
things you create and paint, there is no fun in doing them and no joy in life. Do things that give you pleasure.
As for this skin paint its looking really great. I like the metallic look to it. Super duper as I like to say! 
As for books, yeah, they can help you out figuring out a certain camouflage color or paint scheme, but even
if we do a slight error, do not be surprised if that is how the actual aircraft did look like. I have also seen many
books being wrong and a photo of the real thing shows up in clear sharp view on another book or website one
day, and its exactly how you first envisioned it to look like. So little mistakes can be rewarding many times. 
Good luck with the rest of this paint work and give us a shout when you finish it off, I want to take it for a ride too!
The Me-109 is the first airplane I first flew (and crashed) in the IL-2 game. LOL I love this aircraft ...But, Hey!, Now
I can really know how to fly it!

thank you for the references max, very useful!

i must admit that 1946 is a sort of "showcase" for me now, a few 1vs1 dogfights or some bomber shooting, no campaigns this year, no more online.. but a lot of PS-game-PS-game-PS-game watching "my" skins taking shape (mmh italian "prendere forma" don't know if in english is right hehehe something like "in four and four, eight - in quattro e quattr'otto"? ) on classic/stranges/interesting-for-me aircraft so a good part of personal work, but most i like the way other people can have and fly one more "dress" for their planes

btw, if you fly 109, i've long time lost the touch hehehe midair collisions, low level stalls, unexpected crash landings aaand a good number of smoking craters heheeh
