F2H/F9F/F3H Skins

SF1 F9F-5 & 5P Panther Korean War Skins Pak

SF1 F9F-5 & F9F-5P Panther Skins.

For those of us that still fly SF1, who still enjoy the old Korean War mod and who would like some updated F9F-5/5P Panther skins for the Korean theatre.

This download contains the Fighter/Bomber and Photo Reconnaissance aircraft as well as skins.

Because I used Wrench's SF2 F9F-2 decals, you may notice the BuNums referencing the aircraft as F9F-2 models instead of F9F-5 models. Change them if you wish/can.

Most of these old SF1 skins didn't use the decal system. They do now.

I only created a template and repainted over the old skins. The model is a bit old and has some quirks with the paint and decals. You will notice some paint streaks and line deformation caused by these quirks.

Thanks and credit go to:

Pasko/Column5/Gramps/Major Lee/Marcfighters - for the F9F-5 & F9F-5P models uploaded by Guest.

Wrench - for the decals from the Wrench/Bobrock SF2 Korean War Era F9F-2 Panther Pak.

Creature - for the hook, canopy folding wings fix.

Geary - for template, paints, repaints, etc...

MultiUnknownSources - for the weapons and pilot.

If you wish to paint your own skins, the template is available for the asking. Just PM me. It is in .psd format.

These skins are in .bmp format and were created at 1024 pixels. They are 3MB each but can be downsized for those of you who can't use them this large.

If I forget or miss anyone who deserves credit for anything I release, I apologize. I have no intent to abuse or misuse anyone's work or property or claim it as my own. Please contact me to correct any error.

INSTALLATION: Unzip to a folder/place of your choice. Copy, Move, Drag-n-Drop or do whatever you wish to get the folders into their corresponding folders in your SF1 Korea install. If you don't already have the weapon information in your weapondata.ini file, add it. Run the SF1 Weapons Editor. Fly.

I'm releasing this under the Combat Ace Fair Use Agreement. Use it anyway you wish for personal use but please give credit to those due it.

If you find any problems with it, please PM me. If you improve it, please share.

F9F Panther, VMF-311, Korea

By Wrench

F9F-2/2B/5 Panther, VMF-311, Korean War Era skin 12/11/09

=For SF/SFG/WoV/WoE and probably for SF2 series sims

This package is an upgrage/replacement skin and decal set for the VMF-311 skin that comes with Pasko's original F9F-5 Panther release package.

The skin repesents VMF-311 flying in Korea. What has been done, basiclly, is simply create all new decals for Modex, BuNum/manufacturers ID/Service call out, and other items. The skin bmps themselves ARE still the same ones as issued with the release package from 2004. You'll have numbers, etc for 24 aircraft. Also included, is a 'clean-Nose.bmp', as historical, photographic evidence points to only ONE aircraft having the face painted on (Personally, I LIKE the face!). Instructions on how to switch to the clean nose are below in the "To Install" section.
It should be noted at this time, my researches have shown a more-or-less mixed bag of models as used by 311; so the BuNums/ID tag reflects this -- some will be labeled F9F-2B, some as F9F-5. Rest assured, the BuNums ARE correct for the models indicated (other than the 2/2B having a shorter tail fin). I can, unfortunatly, only claim 100% accuracy for modex #s 2, 6, and 16, as these can be clearly seen in photos in the sources listed below. The rest should be considered as 'filler'.

As always, unzip this archive to a temp folder or your desktop, or somewhere else that's easy to find, to gain access to the rest of this readme, for full, simple-to-follow (for once!) instructions.

Happy Hunting!

F9F Panther, VF-781, Korea

By Wrench

F9F-2/2B/5 Panther, VF-781, Korean War Era skin 12/11/09

=For SF/SFG/WoV/WoE and probably for SF2 series sims

This package is a complete redecaling for Marcfighter's F9F Panther skin, representing VF-781 during the Korean War. For Historical Correctness , a 'new' aircraft should be created, but there are some fairly major physical & other differences between the F9F-2/2B and the F9F-5 that we have. We'll just pretend they got the -5s a little early, or pretend these are -2Bs, as all the BuNums/ID tage decals I've created ARE for -2/2Bs. Mmmkay?

The original Marcfighters skin bmps ARE included -so full credit MUST be given to him on this-, with all new decals for 24 aircraft (this MAY not be historically correct, but photographic evidence exists showing #121 in flight over Korea). The new decal are the Modex, BuNum/ID tag, and the Air Wing letter. I reused one or two of Marcello's original decals. Chalk it up to laziness...

As always, unzip this archive to a temp folder or your desktop, or somewhere else that's easy to find, to gain access to the rest of this readme, for full, simple-to-follow (for once!) instructions.

With special thanks (you can't say it enough!) for Marcello for creating this skin in 2004!!

Good Hunting!

F9F-5 Panther, skin and ini update pak

By Wrench

F9F-5 Panther Skin and Ini Update Pak for SF, WoV & WoE

This little package will update Pasko's Panther and bring it to a more up-to-date level. I've reused one of the skin sets, the one for VF-51, as it has nice panel and rivet lines, and has the proper coloring on the wings -so I take NO credit for the actual skin bmps themselves!!! New data, loadout and cockpit inis are included, as I've made several changes in them.

The skin folder included is designed to replace the "GoldenDragon" skin folder, as I've created all new decals for the Modex numbers, ship ID/Air Group letter, and all new BuNums. It represents aircraft from VF-192 "Golden Dragons" as seen in the movie 'Bridges at Toko-Ri'. All the BuNums are accurate, in that they are real ones assigned to F9F-5s, but only A/C # 202 and #209 are 100%, as they are the only one I could read viewing the DVD. I have also reused the "Golden Dragons" nose tag decal; so I get no credit for that one!

The inis supplied have had a number of tweeks; the data ini gets duplicated wing stations to load rockets ONLY for some mission types, the loadout ini has been adjusted to reflect this, and the cockpit ini (albeit still using the A-4B pit) has had the pilot position adjusted to more match the Real Life placement.

A revamped/updated/cleaned-up version of my Panther Hangar screen is also included.

=You MUST have the Bunyap Weapons Pak to have the WW2/Post-War/Korean War Era weapons!!! =

IMPORTANT: This aircraft is designed to be used in SF/WoV/WoE -- it has NOT been tested with WoI, so I can't help you if you have any problems.

PLEASE read the enclosed readme for more, detailed install instructions.

Good Hunting!!

F-9J Cougar skins

By Dave

F9F-8 Cougars skins by Volks and USAFMTL

Well we didnt have templates so I asked Volks to make some so I could do some Cougar units. So using some of Gramps original bmps and then making our own skins from teh ground up, we were able to create these 3 skins you have here. Just drop into your F-9J folder and enjoy.

VF-86 F3M-2H Skin

By HrntFixr

Fictional Skin!

Yes I know there was never a VF-86.
I spent half my Navy career in the Sidewinders.... this is a "what if" skin.

Many thanks and credit go to Fox Monter for making the aircraft.
