Bf-109 K-4, "White 17", of  III. Gruppe / Jg 1, by Flak Magnet

This install does not include the 3D files, only the textures. You must first download and install Hammerd's first K-4, which includes all of the other files, then install this on top of it. This historical mod features accurate nose and tail markings, re-worked gun pods & cockpit seat, victory marks on the tail, and heavy damage to the nose and tail. When the pilot bails out, you will see a grey chute instead of a white one. This mod also features an detailed inner view of the DB 605 D engine, which becomes visible when the a/c is damaged and the cowling comes apart. Since I have not yet been able to fix the intake problem, the cowling will only come off of 1 side of the engine this time. I have included the pics I found of this aircraft, in the "Images" folder.

DO NOT change or modify w/o permission.

SPECIAL NOTE: I did the kill marks different on this one... Kills are 1 fighter, and 2 two-engine transport planes. (see tail)
ENJOY!

Before installing this, or any other, custom modification, you are advised to make a backup of your original ww2.sqs archive.  

Extract the contents of this archive to the WWII Fighters\Data\White 17 directory.  Assuming the default installation, this is: C:\Program Files\Jane's Combat Simulations\WWII Fighters\Data

The files will be extracted to a new directory WWII Fighters\Data\White 17

Using Windows Explorer, navigate to the WWII Fighters\Data\White 17

This distribution includes high-resolution (512x512) textures for users whose video cards support high-resolution textures. Do NOT attempt to install this skin unless your video card can
