Past News

07/02/2000 - Thanks for the patience the 500+/- visitors this site had so far. Updates are not that frequent but I promise to make them regular.

Some real news now. I've been trying to make skins for the Bf109 E, but the guys at Microprose really screwed up the mapping of .PCX files. The results are distorted camouflages and crosses. Anyway, I added a 109G from the Swiss AF in SKINS section, and I'm planning to add a Swiss 109E if everything runs smooth.

The rest of the site was updated also.

09/02/2000 - I properly added the link above. Sorry for the trouble.

23/02/200 - A new skin is added. The Swiss Bf109 E! I wondered over EAW's sites and watched Swiss skins come to surface, but these were a bit dull and not as colorfull as the Swiss aircraft are known to be. As I couldn't do anything about fuselage markings (because they were going to apear distorted) I had to content with J399, wich was painted with no fuselage markings whatsoever.

Ok, but still it was to be a hell of a job. The wings still refused to be correctly aligned and hours of testing was necessary to paint the leading edge of the wing. All came out good. Then a final "glitch" in the mapping was the tail code number. Apart from the J399's original C/N, I also added a second skin with a ficticional C/N in case one doesn't like the J399's. All this is dowloaded as usual, in only one .ZIP file.

Aahhh, Swiss 109s all ready for service. I think they are the more accurate ones you can get on the Net right now, so enjoy it!

28/02/2000 - We got over the firt 1000 visitors! Great!!! One more skin is out. Check for the Slovak Bf109 in the SKINS section.

01/03/2000 - Today I received an email pointing out the mistakes I've made during the posting of skins in this site. Errors like swasticas showing up were they shouldn't be and the missing Swiss 109 are now corrected. I also moved the Rumanian 109 unfinished skin down here so you could take notice of the changes I made. Please email me when you think some alteration should be made. I'm not error proof!
Thank you Thomas!

11/03/2000 - New skins were added. Check the SKINS section and you will notice that I've posted the work of Thomas Hambüchen.

20/03/2000 - I've been doing some remodeling. Go see the "Something about Luft" page and you will notice some nice changes :-) 
I also added one more of Thomas's skins to the Skins page. A brand new "foreign 109" done by me is coming out very soon.By the way, Mosi's page is now on the Links section too. Check it out! 

29/03/2000 - I added a Bulgarian 109. This one is a real beauty :-) ! Also added Pips's B25 Mitchell. I've streched a little further and retouched the Comet 109 once again (that's why the NEW sign), I enlarged the tail band, retoched the white fin and did other little things to it.
