Strike Fighters by Thirdwire

A Cockpit mod of the Thirdwire Scooter's cockpit, to create the North Korean-modified Mig-15Bis cockpit.
 
Referenced from multiple color photos, cockpit layout diagrams and the reference "A Mig-15 to Freedom" by Korean war Mig-15 pilot veteran No Kum-Sok and a US university professor.
 
Instruments and placards moved, eliminated, repainted and painted from scratch.
 
Individual instruments in Russian as they were historically.
 
Yes, it correctly has the artificial horizon correctly Soviet-color-reversed, upside down-working (I even flew an ex-Soviet fighter that had this), and correctly no mirrors. Go to this thread for the discussion and color photos of real Mig-15 cockpits.

It includes a gyro lead-computing gunsight as per accounts with an early style English copy round gunsight reticle made in Poland.
 
Korean Mig-15s severely outnumbered F-86 Sabres in the Korean war and sometimes threatened the air superiority situation. More than a few US aces were shot down by Mig-15s. Mig-15s usually had the critical advantages over the Sabre of a superior untouchable ceiling and generally a much faster climb rate, acceleration and a cannon armament.
 
The true score of the Mig-15s will probably never be known. However some sources state anywhere from 78-100 F-86 kills depending on the F-86's "lost to unknown causes" categories.

This is a decaled 512 skin. I'm still working on my 2048 version.
 
All of the tail numbers are correct for the squadron. For every tail number listed, I have a picture of that aircraft with the Redhawks.
 
In the tail number list, you will find asterisks behind some numbers. Each asterisk is a Mig kill that that aircraft actually had.
 
I've also included a hanger screen from a picture I took during a base visit to the Portland Air National Guard Base back when I was in AFROTC.
 
Don't forget to add:

Name=123rd FIS, 142th FIG "REDHAWKS"
Nation=USAF
Squadron=123FIS
Specular=0.300000
Glossiness=0.750000
Reflection=0.000000
 
to your F-4c config file.

Lancaster
8 Squadron, Egyptian Air Force (Inchas) 1956
 
This is mini-mod with a set of decals and a repaint of the upper surfaces of the original Lancaster skin by Gramps. All credit for the rest of the skin goes to him.
 
The EAF had 10 Lancasters at the beginning of the Suez Crisis. Most were caught on the ground and destroyed by FAA Seahawks.
 
Weapons loadout has been changed to WP and the guns changed to 50 cal. The original aircraft were supplied without guns and the Egyptians scrounged weapons off surplus WWII aircraft. While I can't change the model to reflect the fact that there were only two 50 cals in the rear turret, I have de-gunned it.

Luftwaffe Eurofighter production scheme for craigbrierley's EF-2000 Typhoon
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
I know that Craig's Typhoon already came with a Luftwaffe skin, but in my opinion it did not have enough individual aircraft number decals. So I made a few and while I was at it I decided to give it a slightly different paint job as well.
 
Thanks to craigbrierly for his fantastic Typhoon and sundowner for his impressive template!
 
Installation instructions
