Messerschmitt Bf-109

Description
History
The Messerschmitt Bf-109 is a German fighter aircraft that was used during World War II. It is considered by many as the backbone of the Luftwaffe and was used from 1937 to 1945. It first few on May 29, 1935 and first saw combat during the Spanish Civil War in 1937. The aircraft was originally designed as an interceptor, but saw multiple uses for escorts, fighter bomber, ground attack, and reconnaissance missions throughout all European fronts during World War II. Compared to other German aircrafts at the time, the Bf-109 was the most common aircraft that the Allies faced in aerial combat and remained very competitive against the latest Allied aircraft throughout the entire duration of the war.

Addon is signed and includes a bikey.

All textures were made using Photoshop.
I have included a texture template of the models for anyone who wishes to create and upload their own textures since I'm not very good at texturing.
Texture template can be found under: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\Arma 3\!Workshop\@Messerschmitt Bf-109\texture templates

@blackgun121 Oh of course, and thanks for the reply! Keep up the great work!!

@noumenalism I'm ok with you repacking the armbands in your mod. Thanks for asking first. Depending on what kind of mod it is, it may be easier to use this mod as a requirement if your mod is using the IFA3 assets.

Hey blackgun121! I hope you're doing well! Really love this addon, great work! I just wanted to ask if it would be okay to repack the armbands into a mod of my own? As long as you're credited of course.

alr thanks

@dkontreras Ju-52 is not broken. You need IFA3 lib Expansion ModPack to use the Ju-52 since the 3d model got removed from IFA3 AIO a while ago due to IP issues. This mod only has its class names and textures. You can download IFA3 lib expansion here: https://ifa3.ru/
dkontreras Oct 28, 2022 @ 7:52pm 
is the Ju-52 broken?
blackgun121  [author] Jan 26, 2022 @ 7:55pm 
@ابو الشريو, its possible. Not sure if you are asking for permission to re-texture the plane or if you are asking if I can make the camo. You may create custom camos for the planes. I'm also willing to make the camo, is there a specific bf-109 variant you would like the camo to be applied? Also, is there a specific camo (image) I can use as a reference? I believe Israeli used bf-109g-6 in 1948.
