Morning all on SAS,

Now, 5 years ago I released my first skinpack for 8 years since my original computer was cooked due to the cooling fans failing and all my work was lost. My first skinpack on SAS back in 2017 consisted of some He-100's which were used for ''Propaganda'' purposes in 1939. Granted it being the initial start of sharing my work on SAS and it was a novel and iconic moment for myself to finally post some decent skins since buying Photoshop so I could demonstrate my skills with templates and layers.

So today my friends I present a brand new He-100 5 year anniversary skinpack of the types that served both as the Heinkel defence squadron as well as for the newsreels in 1939. I thought as I didn't do as many originally and in this pack with what pictures exist I've done most of the Heinkel 100's in these pictures.

Marked and blank skins included.

Skins are now 8bit and markings are updated.

Enjoy,

It looks like your years of commitment have paid off. The metal textures, the used ones. Great work.

BlackAce & Hans-Joachim: During the 25+ years (and counting) of my research on the He 100, including much time spent staring hard at dozens of photos of the type, I've been able to discern two slightly different versions of the splinter pattern on the port side of the fuselage of camouflaged examples. Owing to the quality of the prints in my archives, I've never been able to completely sort the patterns on the wings, horizontal stabilizers, and the starboard side of the fuselage with much certainty. Part of the problem has been the proximity of the shades of RLM 70 and RLM 71. Worse, the problem is aggravated by the way the paint on the cooling panels on the wings, the fuselage spine, and empennage tended to fade so rapidly. If you look closely at available photos, you can actually discern the overall shapes of the double-skinned panels. Then, too, I've thus far seen just one true color image of an He 100, and this image, of a partly dismantled machine, was made post-war, in a school, apparently in Leningrad, for Russian aviation mechanics. As far as I know, none of the He 100s exported to the USSR were camouflaged.

I must say that your patterns certainly look right, and they're probably as close as anyone can get under the circumstances. If you're interested in attempting to replicate the distinctive weathering patterns, please let me know. I'd be happy to send drawings showing the exact sizes and shapes of the respective surface-cooling panels. Meanwhile, if you have better photos than I do of these patterns, I would love to see them.

My original text and drawings were published 14 years ago; owing to the large amount of information which has since surfaced, I know exactly how the work needs to be revised. I'm getting ready to re-approach my publisher about this. Fingers crossed, I would really like to have a new and much-improved version of the work produced, and I'm reluctant to put what work I have accomplished to date online. At any rate, many thanks to BlackAce and Hans-Joachim. Again, your patterns do look "right."

BTW, The "propaganda" photos of the "He 113" were exactly that. Captions to the published photos state that they were made at an airfield in occupied Denmark, but the photos were in fact made at the airfield at Heinkel's Marienehe plant.

Thankyou gents for the kind words, these skins being the first I did and comparing them to the originals just appreciates how far I've come in the 5 years I've been doing this. For me being someone who enjoys skinning these days and experimenting with techniques I've learned from skinners both present and past reflects that in these pieces.

I worked out how to fix to the 8bit 1mb skins with the help of Knochenslutcher by modifying the resolution on Photoshop, I find it admirable that the skin template was originally 2048x2048 when it was simply a case of reducing the template to 1024x1024 and they work now in Ultrapack.

EHood that compliment coming from someone who's been researching and gathering information on this ''What if'' fighter means a great deal. This aircraft granted will always be an unknown to the Luftwaffe as well as being part of the history during WWII.

Heinkel had a vision, a fighter with speed and high performance with revolutionary technology was looked over... but as we know the Messerschmitt company being famous as the fighter developers and Heinkel being famous for bombers. Complimenting one another in the field of battle rather than opposing each other.
