View File Bloch 210 Bloch MB-210 GB 1, 51 Escadille Just copy the GB1-51 folder into your MB210 installation happy flying. There are issues with this skin that have to do with how the bmp file is mapped. That's why I've only done one aircraft out of the 4 that saw active service during the Battle of France. FireFox has amended the aircraft but needs help to convert it to work in the game. Volunteers??? LloydNB Submitter LloydNB Submitted 10/10/2009 Category French Air Force

My guess would be the Flugplatz = airport and Flugfeld = airfield. But we've got plenty of native German speakers who will be able to help.

I didn't realise until now that Wrench had done all the Hawk squadrons in the Battle of France. I might just release this skin and then do a Vichy one for Morocco/Algeria. Lloyd

I was thinking something more local. Lloyd

The plan worked perfectly! Mind you we always reckoned it would only take a little nudge to convince an Italian boy from Jersey to start an new WWII Italian model. Lloyd

FALCO!!!!

Oh hell guys!! Not more great stuff to skin? I've already got skins for the Hawk 75As (France and China), FW 200, SM 79, DH 89 (East Africa), Blackburn Ripon (Finland) and another BR 20 (Japan) on the go. And I planned to do the D.520 (France and Italy), the Catalina (RNZAF)and the Hudson (RNZAF). Thank goodness for crappy spring weather. But when the weather improves my wife is expecting some DIY from me. Lloyd

Wrench As you've done GC II/5, I thought I'd do skins for GC I/5 and GCI/4. Lloyd

Opinion guys. Should I finish this? Lloyd

You've got to admire someone who is willing(?) to man a machinegun while directly under an engine. At least if you had a problem with the main gear you had someone handy who could give it a couple of good belts with a sledgehammer. Lloyd

Skin is coming along nicely. 242 Squadriglia during the Battle of Britain. Lloyd

Now that's just beautiful!!! Battle of France, Algeria, Lebanon/Syria anyone? Italian and Bulgarian skins too. I really fancy a yellow-tailed D520. Lloyd

Latest progress shot. I'll start on the underside tomorrowish. Lloyd

Now that's terrific. Its going to test my skinning ability though. Italian camo patterns are damned tricky. Lloyd

Progress shot. Lloyd

Silverbolt Not a Fourth Reich conspiracy. A Brazilian airline operated a couple of FW-200 airlines during the 1940s. Lloyd

My guess would be a Pe-8.

Currently painted RLM 72/73/65, the concensus seems to be 70/71/65. I've found reference to these colour being taken off a model made by a Condor pilot during WWII using stock squadron paints. May be I'll provide both options - not too hard with "colour replace". Lloyd

Thanks Kevin I haven't been able to find the Warpaint book in New Zealand. Its a bit disappointing though that it doesn't contain a good panel line diagram like the rest of the series. Colour is the the big hassle. Most books show standard Luftwaffe colours but some show a maritime scheme. I've decided to paint it for the North Atlantic. As for decals, I've been working on a range of these - Lloyd

I've got some nice plates of Atlantic Fw-200s so I thought I'd try my hand at one. I'm still trying to get the ripples in the wing skin right. Lloyd

Hi Wrench I should probably cover the fuselage windows in the Baffin as well. I don't think the Ripon had them, unless someone has different information. In the meantime, I think I'll start work on a couple of other projects. Another addition for East Africa and I might start a Luftwaffe Ju-52/3m using my SAAF skin as a starting point. Lloyd
