Fairey Firefly Early Mk. Skinpack
Fairey Firefly Early Mk. Skinpack
A lot of "Faked" parts had to be created for these skins - some are very subtle whereas some are slightly more obvious.
There are 20 skins in total in this pack (all historical). I could have went on to included non marked versions but felt it was too much, if anyone wants a no marked version it can be arranged (note that in game markings will not work properly on these skins as they would overlap the "faked" windows on the fuselage.
Stick this in both of your "Seafire" skin folders and you are ready to go.
Template created by "Fly By Shooter" with elements from "Jesters Ink" and Myself original template was made for the MKVIII Spitfire so I have now adapted this to fit the Seafire and added my own faked parts, panel lines and weathering to it.
Brief info on each aircraft is included.
Regards,

The Firefly was designed as a fleet reconnaissance aircraft for the UK's Royal Navy, and was derived from the Fairey Fulmar.
First flown on 22 December 1941, the first versions were delivered in March 1943 to RNAS Yeovilton.
The main version of the aircraft used during WWII was the Mk.1, which was used in all theaters of operation. Throughout its operational career, it took on increasingly more demanding roles, from fighter to anti-submarine warfare. Main variants included the F1 (with a 1,990-hp Griffon XII engine); FR1 (with an ASH radar underneath the engine); NF2 {night-fighter); Mk.IV (with new outer wing nacelles carrying fuel and an ASH scanner); the FR4, with a two-stage supercharged engine and wing root radiators in place of the earlier "chin-mounted" ones; the AS5 (with new American sonobuoys); TT5 and TT6 (target tugs); and T7 (Anti-Submarine Warfare trainer).
After WWII, the Firefly remained in service in both the UK and Australia, flying anti-ship missions off various aircraft carriers in the Korean War and serving in the ground-attack role in Malaya. In 1956, the Firefly's frontline career ended with the introduction of the Fairey Gannet.

Seafire IICs (LIII) 899 NAS, British Home Fleet
By Kristorf
Two Seafire IIC (L III), MB244/6-Q and MB229 6-H flown by 899 Naval Air Squadron from HMS Indomitable from Scarpa Flow (Shetland Isles) as part of the British Home Fleet in June 1943.
Both A/C have the fuselage stengthening beams fitted for the forward cockpit bulkhead to the radio compartment, and the wing strengtheners required due to the added stresses of carrier landings.
Thx to Jester and TonyT for the base template, FBS for the internal layers from his MkVIII template and Robo for weathering and bits from his MkVc template.
4 skins included, 6-H/Q, one with national markings and one with tail flash.

Seafire F MkIII 807 Sqn HMS Hunter June 1945
By Kristorf
Seafire F MkIII D-5X/PP479 flown by Sub-Lt F Logie of 807 Sqn FAA from HMS Hunter in June 1945.
PP479 was issued to 807 Sqn in Sept 1944, but in June 1945, while being flown by Logie a light cross wind lifted the Seafire while about to touch down over all the arrester wires and into the crash barrier, ripping off all three sections of undercart.
PP479 was dismantled and stored below decks until 'Hunter' reached Trincomlee, Ceylon, were it was classed as beyond repair and scrapped.
Three skins included, D-5X, one with FAA rounds only and one with tail flash.
Thx to Jester for the template, with bits from FBS and TonyT

Fairey Firefly Skinpack
I decided to try and make a Fairey Firefly skin after a comment about my previous Seafire skin (Seafire FR.45 LA485) saying that it reminded somebody of it.
A lot of "Faked" parts had to be created for these skins - some are very subtle whereas some are slightly more obvious.
There are 8 skins in total in this pack; 4 for each aircraft. There is the standard skins, weathered skins and there is also versions of the previous 2 without invasion stripes. I could have went on to included non marked versions but felt it was too much, if anyone wants a no marked version it could be arranged (note that in game markings will not work properly on these skins as they would overlap the "faked" windows on the fuselage.
Stick this in both of your "Seafire" skin folders and you are ready to go.
Template created by "Fly By Shooter" with elements from "Jesters Ink" and Myself original template was made for the MKVIII Spitfire so I have now adapted this to fit the Seafire and added to it.

Seafire FR.45 LA485
Seafire FR.45
Unit: 771 NAS, FAA
Serial: 583/LP (LA485)
Unfortunately the above is the only information I have found on this AC and had to work from a single profile picture for this paint scheme.
This skin is for the above mentioned aircraft and though we don't have a FR.45 Seafire in the game the real plane closely resembles the Seafires that we do have so this is what I chose to use. The only real difference in how it looks physically is that the real plane (having a Griffon engine) has distinctive raised elongated bulges just above the overhead valves which I have tried to fake onto the actual skin.
The tail hook is slightly different on the real plane but no amount of "fake" skinning was going to sort that out.
Stick this in both of your "Seafire" skin folders and you are ready to go.
Four versions included, Standard clean version marked and unmarked and also a marked and unmarked weathered version.
Template created by "Fly By Shooter" with elements from "Jesters Ink" and Myself.
