dora3 stukas of II./StG3 Northern Africa 1942-1943

Love your work Armin, love Stukas to, but please don't forget those other work-horses the He111s, stock Dorniers and the remodeled Ju 88s. IL2 won't be complete til these underskinned air-craft have had the full Armin treatment

Armin,they are looking absolutely perfect for the
environment.. We can't forget, the wind,dust storms,
camel shit, flies, scorpions, snakes, road kill, ...
Did I forget anything?
Looking forward to these very real looking war pigs.

LOL...speaks a man who clearly knows this kind of environment! Sounds ghastly!

Hi all,
sorry currently ain't got much time on my hands for skinning but here's a little update of the stuka project. This is the way the most StG3 desert stukas looked about in the second half of 1942 and early 1943. Just patches/stripes of italian or german(RLM79b) sandbrown colour were painted over the standard splinter camo, patterns were individual for each plane and differed a lot.
Still a lot to correct but i'm slowly making progress...

Fantastic work Armin! Makes me thirsty just looking at it.
Thanks for the update

Latest screens, finally got this ?X%&(0#mapped nose figured out.
Some corrections on the masking layer and the various camos have to be made. The kind the canopies are skinned were inspired by pegase's doras.
The 3D effects around the cockpit seem to work quite well.

Beautiful work Armin. This is exactly why I don't put 'quickies' in my skin folders; I'd rather wait for the good stuff like this one
Indeed, the 3D work is superb. Combined with your weathering, it makes the skin appear as a higher resolution than it really is.
