I really like the Su-37 model, but I always did not like its coloring. When I studied the history of the Su-27 series, I found out that the Su-37 and Su-27M did not differ in appearance. The fuselage, wings and tail are the same for them. Different only in engines. I decided to repaint this model in the colors of Su-27M, so it was more pleasant to kill this plane.
============
Installation:
Copy the files to the appropriate locations in your mod folder as usual. Be sure to overwrite the decals folder. It is very important! There is a fix for the  UV grid of the original model, cause of which the second wing had a reflection of the first that the aircraft was disfiguring.
It is better to overwrite weapons folder. I ve made some small changes (fixed the years of using) in inies in some of them.
============
I tried to make the skins as accurate as possible. But the skin T-10M-1 is not very accurate from below because of the limitations of the model. If you want to correct this, do not stop yourself. Fix, redraw, repack, share, I will be happy with your corrections of my skins.
NEW SKINS:
T-10M-1 1988
T-10M-3 BN 703 1992
T-10M-9 BN 709 1993
Aubergine (Modern Russian What If Skin)
Su-27M BN 88 Serial 2000
Su-27M BN 710 Serial 1993
Su-27M BN 710 Serial 1993 Shabby
Su-27M Russian Knights
OLD SKIN
Su-37 Terminator (original model's fix of wing)

McDonnell Douglas Phantom FGR.5 for STRIKE FIGHTERS 1
This is a simple mod of the stock Phantom F-4E to give a 'what if' Phantom FGR.5 tactical fighter with markings for No.6 and No.41 squadrons of RAF Strike Command as they might have appeared in the mid-1970's.
In theory, this should work in any 'first generation' game that has the standard F-4E LOD's.
 
BACKSTORY
The cancellation of the Hawker P.1154 in 1964 quickly led to the adoption of the LTV F-8E(RN) Crusader for the Royal Navy to replace the Scimitar and Sea Vixen and the adoption of the McDonnell Douglas Phantom for the RAF to replace the Hunter. However, anxious to improve the UK's trade balance with the US, the UK Government insisted that the RAF's Phantoms would adopt either the Rolls Royce Spey turbofan or the Anglo-French Rolls Royce/SNECMA Sequanna turbofan then under development for the proposed Mirage IVB and advanced Mirage III aircraft. The Sequanna was quickly chosen being lighter and slimmer than the Spey and fitted the F-4 like a glove whilst producing about 1,000lbs more thrust per engine than the stock J79-GE-15 turbojet but with a lower specific fuel consumption.
First flown in 1965 and entering service with the RAF in 1966 the Phantom F.1 supplemented the Lightning interceptors of RAF Fighter Command whilst the Phantom FG.2 re-equipped many Hunter and Canberra squadrons at home and abroad. The FR.3 was a planned version of the RF-4C that failed to materialise as the RAF adopted podded recconnaisance pods but the FGR.4 was the RAF's first true multi-role version of the Phantom taking advantage of the new F-4E airframe and a more powerful Sequanna RB.390 engine developing 19,000lbs with reheat. Only 50 FGR.4's were built before production switched to the FGR.5 with Sequanna RB.392 engines, slatted wings and more advanced avionics. The FGR.5's served at home and abroad, most notably with RAF Strike Command and RAF South East Asia Command before finally being retired in 2003.
 
INSTRUCTIONS

2. From the DECALS folder drag and drop the PhantomFGR5 into your Decals folder.

4. The Falcons (Red & Yellow)

10. The Golden Jackals (Yellow & Dark Teal)
11. The Rams (Green and Blue)

13. The Antelopes (Black,White & Green)
Each squadron has a simple checkerboard roundel marking, a checkerboard fin strip and a squadron badge.
It would be great to see what Dhimari aircraft you can come up with! Long live the King!

Hawker Hunter FGA.9 - 1970's Wittering Wing for STRIKE FIGHTERS 1
This is a simple decal conversion of the sublime Third Wire Hunter FGA.9 to enable you to fly a mid-1970's era Hunter from the short-lived Wittering Wing that was created to keep RAF newly graduated ground-attack pilots 'current' whilst waiting for the Jaguar to enter service.
This will only work in 'Wings Over Europe' but you can, of course, also make it work in the other Third Wire Series One games by extracting and exporting all of the relevant files.

INSTRUCTIONS
1. From the AIRCRAFT folder drag and drop the HunterFGA9w folder into your Aircraft folder.
2. From the DECALS folder drag and drop the HunterFGA9w into your Decals folder.
Your stock Hunter FGA.9 will not be affected by this mod.

As we're on the verge of wishing the RAF a Happy 100th Birthday (April 1st, 1918) I'm updating my RAF squadron marking decals for you to use on absolutely whatever you want - be it factual, fictual, historical or hysterical. As a keen 'what-iffer' I 'd especially like to see them appear where the shouldn't! So break out the Century Series, Mirages, MiGs and Sukhois and get 'whiffing' and remember to post your screenshots! I'd love to see them!
This decal set is also in the Series 2 section and that will be the one that gets updated from hereon in.
