    Strike fear into the hearts of the Hun when you comest in this unquestionable shape. There will be no wondering whether thou art a spirit of health or goblin damned, or if thou bringest with airs from Heaven or blasts from Hell. Your intents will be most assuredly wicked. (apologies to Shakey Bill fans everywhere for my paraphrasing of his Hamlet's diatribe)
     
    Enjoy!

  2. This skin was created after Ernst Udet's D.V skin as made by Paarma / OBD.
    You may fly it at Udet's side in Jasta 37, Phalempin, in summer 1917. Enjoy!

  3. This is a skin for an Albatros D.Va OAW from Jasta 77b, 1918.
     
    Albatros D.Va OAW were based at Vraignes aerodrome from 18. April - 23. April 1918
    and at Foucaucourt-en-Santerre from 24. April - 30. May 1918.
     
    The Jastas of the German kingdoms Bayern, Württemberg and Sachsen had the additional
    letters b, w or s behind their numbers. So this skin is for the Bavarian unit Jasta 77.
    The Balkenkreuz shows, that it's flying in 1918.
     
    The emblem is showing a phantasy creature, a kind of Bavarian chimera: the "Wolpertinger";
    an animal made of the parts of various creatures.
     
    I want to thank OvS and Paarma for their countless original skins, from which I always work.
     
    To get the skin into your sim, unzip it to:

  4. For MFJ 1 (Marine-Feldjagdstaffel) I wanted a skin, that would suit the Naval situation;
    that would somehow fit with the north sea. And so I picked one of Paarma's skins, that
    had an overall Lozenge camouflage - even on the fuselage. (I forgot, who's skin it was
    originally - sorry).
    The dark greyish-blue-green colours fitted well with MFJ-1's colour, which is yellow.
     
    This Albatros D.Va shows the Balkenkreuz, which got introduced in March or April 1918.
    MFJ-1 was based at Coolkerke by the North Sea.
    Again I want to say a heartily "Thank you" to OvS and Paarma from OBD for all they have
    created with so much love and detail - a fund of countless skins I shamelessly made
    use of to compile my own ones. Hope you enjoy them.

  20. after reading about the night victories of several Jasta 73 pilots I decided it would be fun to create a fictional ace skin for aspiring German night fighters. Jasta 73 had 7 confirmed night victories between June and October of 1918. Fritz Anders scored 5 of these.
     
    the original skins for the Albatros D.Va were by Paarma. I just cut and pasted a few skins together and added some personal markings.

  21. This is my latest fictional skin for a Fokker Dr. 1 from Jasta 18, also called "Staffel Raben" or "Raben-Staffel".
    Their fighters had first been red-nosed, with a blue fuselage.
    Under Staffelführer August Raben the colours got changed.
    The nose section and the upper wing surfaces were Vermillion red, the rest was white.
    All pilots used a Raven symbol, some had additional own emblems.
    The Raven symbol was mostly black - but as I said; this is an individual and fictional skin.
     
    Enjoy it!
     
    This skin could not have been done without the great fund of more than 3.400 skins, OBD's skinners made for us.
    A big "THANK YOU" and a deep bow for so much dedication and love put into all that!

  23. ALBATROS D.V and D.Va Factory-new Johannisthal & OAW Skins / 1917 and 1918
     
    Since several OFF-flyers had asked for generic skin templates which they could paint their
    own emblems or decorations on to, I have made four such templates for the Albatros D.Va.
    All four present the facory-new Albatros D.Va, freshly delivered.
    I know that many of you are into weathering effects. Well, such effects can much easier be
    added to a new plane, than to be removed. So please feel free to add as much weathering
    and battle-wearing as you like.
     
    While the D.V was only built by Albatros-Werke Johannisthal, the D.Va was also produced
    at "Ostdeutsche Albatros-Werke" (OAW). I got a lot of help (see below) about the details of
    these builds; the guys told me several differences between the two production lines.
    Many may regard these as minor ones, and perhaps call us "nitpickers", but we wanted to
    get it pretty close.
     
    The differences I regarded here are these:
     
    1. Albatros Johannisthal used salmon ribtape on the wings; OAW used light blue tape.
     
    2. Crosses on fuselage sides were further back on Johannisthal planes than on OAW built ones.
     
    3. The weight tables were different
     
    4. Factory placards were placed under cockpit for OAW; on the nose onJohannisthal built ones.
     
    5. Albatros-Logo looking in flight direction on the Johannisthal-, and rearwards on OAW-built ones.
     
    Finally, there is proof that rudders were covered with upper dark Lozenge as well as light underside fabric. I didn't find any evidence so far for the OAW using the light, and Johannis- thal the dark fabric, but I wanted to present both versions and so I did it that way.
     
    Although the work on these skins took me quite a long time, there surely are still many bits and details, which could be more correct, but I ask all nitpickers to overlook those, and still
    enjoy the bird. These skins are made for your pleasure - and for your own paint shemes.
     
    The helping hands, brains & eyes on this project were from:
     
    elephant - nitpicking corrections and detail
     
    Jim "JFM" Miller - help with detail pictures and some facts
    Dave "Blowhard" Douglas - metal parts and wheel
     
    Without your help I wouldn't have got so far - thank you guys!
    I also wish to thank the OBD skinners for the countless skins with all
    the historical details - you guys lured me into this hobby with your work.
     
     
    HOW TO INSTALL A SKIN
     
    Unzip the file(s) and move them into this folder:
     
    [your sim] > campaigns > CampaignData > skins
     
    You may change the Jasta number, but you must not - if you leave No. 1,
    you would always find the skin faster in the briefing screen, where you
    select a personal skin. Scroll below the historical ace skins, and mine
    will be among the first skins.
    You can, for your identification, change the names "Johannisthal" or "OAW"
    into something personal, but keep the ending .dds - otherwise it won't work.
    Enjoy!

  25. This is a SPAD XIII skin I did long time ago, but forgot to load up here somehow.
    Now nbryant asked me in the "Screenshots" thread, why I don't make "Allied" skins -
    well, here is one for you.
    The very most of the skin is of course the fine detailed work by one of the OBD skinners.
    Thank you guys for your incredible amount of wonderful skins!
     
    I have made the SPAD rather very clean, like an almost new craft, with all emblems
    painted on freshly. So, this may not be for the fans of weathering really.
     
    I have made the colours of the camo a bit more dynamic, and the emblems really
    juicy - one could say, it's over the top, but hey, it's fun. Enjoy!
