I agree with him, very well done.

Unfortunately it's by hand. I thought about masking but since this one is not from a vanilla unit I didn't think it would turn out. Now that I've done this one the process is a faster. I'm hoping to make winter versions for everything that was on the eastern front at least.

Excellent Maguro! I will try to make a luftwaffe green-winter mask... I don't think will look as good as the Hs-129, but may be it can help you save some time if you are thinking about making the complete lot...

Thanks guille. That would be great. Looking forward to seeing what you come up with. I haven't really tried mask making so I'd probably mess up the first few hundred times I try. I'll do a winter camo for everything that is the same light green/dark green scheme (from bebro's) as the hs 129 then hopefully move to some others. Thought it's only natural to include luftwaffe wainter air units since there are already some great Soviet ones.

Next, a Ju-88A.

Here is a dropbox link to a zip with Hs 129s - B-1, B-2 & B-3. I'll post a similar file for Ju 88s when they are ready.

...And a link to some Ju 88s. It's amazing what you can get done with a few hours layover. I think PHCAS was the one who made the C and P versions from bebro's A - sorry if I'm wrong.

Fanastic camos Maguro!. Congratulations!.
I am eager to see more winter units now

Thanks.

Hello Maguro! Here is a first shot at a "winterized" green camo for German aircraft. Of course, the icons don't look as good as the hand-drawn ones, but may be this mask can save you some time. If you like it, I can try to improve it further, or make several variants to cover more aircraft shapes. This mask, at present, looks better on some icons than on others. But, may be you find some use for it...

I attach the big color image mask... you can make the small thumbnail just by copying and pasting the small rectangle situated in the bottom left part of the icon in a new image file...

Just in case, here is the small thumbnail for the camo mask...

Those look good. Thanks Guille for taking the time to make them! I can try using these and touching up where needed. In the next few days I'll give it a shot once I have a little more time on my hands. Hopefully it will cut down on the time it takes to make them.

Hello Maguro! I hope that mask will help you to complete your task easier and in less time, that was my idea... And you can use the extra time in the finishing details of the new units, which, I have to say, look forward to see...

Here are some more icons (Me-110 and Fw-189) in winter scheme... Made with the new, improved masks and hand retouched...

Here is the updated pack, with two different skins, either one can be used to best suit the different base icons. Twice the chance to save in retouching time! Greetings!

Great! at this rate the luftwaffe will be ready for the Russian winter.

Here is a Ju 87 pack which I might touch up a bit more. I've given the D and G spiral spinner options as well as the original spinner.

I forgot to add the R version.

Here is an He 111

Nice! Thanks for sharing!

Made a couple of minor touch ups.

An He 177

Great winter camo! Like it very much!
