SF2 MiG-21bisB "Fishbed-N" Algerian Air Force Skin Pack
By Wrench
SF2 MiG-21bisB "Fishbed-N" Algerian Air Force Skin Pack 8/29/2025
-For SF2 =ONLY= (Full 4/5 Merged Recommended)
Here is a brand new skin for the stock 3W MiG-21bisB "Fishbed-N", as used by the Algerian Air Force from 1980 until it's retirement in the early 2000s. This is a completely new skin, created from a Home Grown Template (tm) . The aircraft is finished in late model Sand/Dark Earth with light gray undersides. The template IS included with this mod, and will also be uploaded separately.
If you have made this plane flyable, and use the "read only main ini trick", you'll have to turn that off after adding this skin, even though this does replace a stock one. See "Installation" for more details.
All markings are decals, and decal randomization is TRUE. The Serial numbers are historically correct for this type of aircraft (21bisB). You'll have 18 of them. However, while all the numbers are correct, they should be considered Generic in nature, as I could not find which squadron each served in. So, I just assigned it to one that was known to operate this model. The skin in jpg format, in 1024x1024.
When on the Loadout Page, you'll see:
140e Escadron de Chasse (Algeria)<1980
As you can see, there is an active start date (listing in the texture set ini) and will luck it will turn on in 1980 :) (it's also the same start date for the QJJ upon receiving the 21bis)
I have included a modified data and loadout ini. The data ini gives the aircraft some "hardening" (via aluminum armor), and the loadout ini adds the drop tank for all missions. I've also included a new pilot figure, "Red7001". The canopy is also activated, it uses the Standard Animation Keystroke (tm), Shift/0 (zero).
What I have NOT given you, are the bits and bobs necessary to make it Player Flyable (tm). If you haven't done this, you'll have to root around for the needed cockpit in the CA downloads; it's not very hard to find. However, I have given you repainted gunsight TGAs. They're in a very bright yellow, so as to make it easier to see for us Old Folks (tm). These are for the Paladrian cockpit, available here at CA.
As is always recommended, unzip to a temp folder or your desktop to give easy access to the rest of this readme for it's install instructions. PLEASE read them, before installing!!! Also, the Notes section has more details on the changes.
Happy Landings!

SF F/A-18A (C15) Hornet (TMF) Spanish Air Force Pack v.2
By Wrench
SF F/A-18A (C15) Hornet (TMF) Spanish Air Force Pack v.2 8/14/2025
-For SF2, Any and All (Full 5 Merged Suggested)
This is a remod of the 2009 upload of the Spanish Air Force F/A-18A (aka "C.15") Hornet originally by Blackfish. This creates a nation specific version of the aircraft, and replaces the 2009 version completely.
As there was no readme for the original mod, at the bottom of this document, I've added the text from the announcement thread. If you have this original mod, you are advised to Delete It Completely, as this one replaces it in toto. This is also designed to NOT conflict with the F/A-18s as seen in the TMF Hornet Mega Pack, also available here are CA. As this uses a unique name (C-15) this should pose no issues.
All original decals are reused, and are now randomized for the 3 squadrons. Loadouts have been adjusted (See Notes). The skins remain in their original BMP format. My research has indicated all the serial numbers from the original mod are historically correct for the squadrons depicted. A new SF2 compliant hangar screen was also created for this mod.
The 3 EDA squadron represented herein are:
Ala 12
Ala 15
Ala 46, 462 Esq
.
The canopy operates with the Standard Animations Keystroke (tm), Shift/0 (zero).
I've included the drop tanks, pilot figure and ejection seat. What I have NOT done is include any other weapons, effects, sounds or RWR tgas for the TEWS. These are all found in the TMF Hornet pack. I'm making the assumption (oh! that WORD!!!) you already have them.
When in-game, on the Aircraft Selection Drop down you'll see:
C-15 Hornet (EDA) (TMF)
As always fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. So, please read them. The 'Change Log' is, of course, in the Notes section below.
Good Hunting & Happy Landings!

SF2 Su-7BMK "Fitter-C" Algerian Air Force Skin Pack
By Wrench
SF2 Su-7BMK "Fitter-C" Algerian Air Force Skin Pack 8/30/2025
-For SF2 =ONLY= (Full 4/5 Merged Recommended)
Here is a new(ish) skin for the stock 3W Sukhoi Su-7BMK "Fitter-C"", as used by the Algerian Air Force from 1972 thru the late 1980s. The aircraft is painted in Egyptian Nile Style camo, as used when these aircraft were sent to Egypt in 1973, but with the correct style serial number decals. This is a 'rebadging' of the stock 3W skin. Research has NOT turned up any information or pictures of any other paint schemes from when they were first delivered.
If you have made this aircraft flyable, and use the "read only main ini trick", you'll have to turn that off after adding this skin, even though this does replace the stock one. See "Installation" for more details.
All markings are decals, and decal randomization is TRUE. The Serial numbers are historically correct for this type of aircraft. You'll have 18 of them. However, while all the numbers are correct, they should be considered Generic in nature, as I could not find which squadron each served in. The skin remain in it's 'as issued' BMP format (3w Rez)
When on the Loadout Page, you'll see:
Algerian Camo (Nile Style)<1972
This is changed from the original listing on the texture set inis, because of the addition of specific decal randomization text. The actual folder name is QJJCamo.
I have included a modified data and loadout ini. The data ini gives the aircraft some "hardening" (via aluminum armor), and the loadout ini adds the drop tank for all missions. I've also included a new pilot figure, "RedAir1". The canopy is also activated, it uses the Standard Animation Keystroke (tm), Shift/0 (zero).

Here is a new(ish) skin for the stock 3W MiG-21MF "Fishbed-J"", as used by the Algerian Air Force from 1965 thru the early 1980s. Basically, Egyptian Nile camo, as used when these aircraft were sent to Egypt in 1973, and how they returned afterwards. but with the correct style serial number decals. If YOU have and use the "read only main ini trick", you'll have to turn that off after adding this skin, even though this does replace the stock one. See "Installation" for more details.

SF2 MiG-17F "Fresco-C" Moroccan Air Force Skin Pack
By Wrench
SF2 MiG-17F "Fresco-C" Moroccan Air Force Skin Pack 8/24/2025
-For SF2 =ONLY= (Any & All, Full 4/5 Merged Recommended)
Here is a new skin for stock 3W MiG-17 "Fresco-C", representing those as used by the Moroccan Air Force from 1961 thru the late 1970s/ early 1980s. If you use the read only main ini trick", you'll have to turn that off after adding this skin. See "Installation" for more details.
All markings are decals, and decal randomization is TRUE. The skin is a rebadged stock 3W 'silver' (aka NMF). You get 26 serial and "bort" numbers. The numbers are mostly historic in nature. On the Number list ini, any marked with the star (*) have been positively match to each other (bort & serial). The others are best guess, and should be considered generic in nature.
When on the Loadout Page, you'll see
RMoAF Silver (<1961)

SF2 MiG-17F "Fresco-C" Algerian Air Force Skin Pack
By Wrench
SF2 MiG-17F "Fresco-C" Algerian Air Force Skin Pack 8/24/2025
-For SF2 =ONLY= (Full 4/5 Merged Recommended)
Here are 2 new(ish) skins for the stock 3W MiG-17 "Fresco-C", as used by the Algerian Air Force from 1965 thru the early 1980s. Basically, slight 'rebadging' of the stock "QJJSilver1" and "QJJCamo1" (Nile Style), but with corrected serial number decals. I've =not= included any of the bits to make it flyable, but if you have, and use the "read only main ini trick", you'll have to turn that off after adding this skin, even though this does replace the stock one. See "Installation" for more details.
All markings are decals, and decal randomization is TRUE. The two sets of Serial numbers are historically correct (ish). You'll have 24 for the NMF, and 18 for the Camo. However, while all the numbers are correct, they should be considered Generic in nature, as I could not find which squadron each served in. Any marked with the cross (or plus sign +) are conjectural, as I could not find any reference to them. The Post 1968 (Camo) skin uses the "FG-**" style. Both skins remain in their 'as issued' BMP format (3w Rez)
When on the Loadout Page, you'll see
Algerian Silver (1964)
Algerian Camo (<1968)
This is NOT changed from the original listing on the texture set inis, with the exception of adding specific decal randomization text, and the year tags.
I have included a modified data and loadout ini. The data ini gives the aircraft some "hardening" (via aluminum armor), and the loadout ini adds the drop tank for all missions. I've also included a new pilot figure, "RedAir1". The canopy is also activated, it uses the Standard Animation Keystroke (tm), Shift/0 (zero).
What I have NOT given you, are the bits and bobs necessary to make it Player Flyable (tm). If you haven't done this, you'll have to root around for the needed cockpit in the CA downloads. (cough - by Stary). I have, however given you the VK-1F engine sound.

SF2 MiG-21F-13 Algerian Air Force Skin Pack
By Wrench
SF2 MiG-21F-13 Algerian Air Force Skin Pack 8/22/2025
-For SF2 =ONLY= (Full 4/5 Merged Recommended)
This is a new(ish) skin for the stock 3W MiG-21F-13 "Fishbed-C", as used by the Algerian Air Force from 1965 thru the early 1980s. This skin is named the same as the stock "QJJSilver1", but replaces it with all new correct serial number decals. I've =not= included any of the bits to make it flyable, but if you have, and use the "read only main ini trick", you'll have to turn that off after adding this skin, even though this does replace the stock one. See "Installation" for more details.
All markings are decals, and decal randomization is TRUE. All 24 Serial numbers are 100% historically correct. However, while all the numbers are correct, they should be considered Generic in nature, as I could not find which squadron each served in. So, I've assigned them to a QJJ squadron that DID use the Fishbed-C. The SF2 'date switch' is used to create the "start date" for when Algeria received their MiG-21F-13s (btw, it's 1965).
When on the Loadout Page, instead of the Generic "QJJSilver1" name, you'll see
11e Escadron de Chasse (Algeria)
I have included a modified data and loadout ini. The data ini gives the aircraft some "hardening" (via aluminum armor), and the loadout ini adds the drop tank for all missions. I've also included a new pilot figure, "RedAir1". For those of us with older eyes, I've given you brightly (re)painted gunsight tgas for the cockpit. The canopy is also activated, it uses the Standard Animation Keystroke (tm), Shift/0 (zero). What I have NOT given you, are the bits and bobs necessary to make it Player Flyable (tm). If you haven't done this, you'll have to root around for the needed cockpit in the CA downloads.

SF2 F-16AM Falcon, Portugal (TMF) Pack
By Wrench
SF2 F-16AM Falcon, Portugal (TMF) Pack 8/21/2025
-For SF2, Any and All (Full 5 Merged Suggested)
This is a rebuild of a mod from 2011(ish) of The Mirage Factory's F-16A to the represent the F-16AM versions as used by the Portuguese Air Force Squadrons No. 201 "Falcons" and No. 302 "Jaguars". Each squadron has 2 skins; standard full color, and low visibility markings. The SF2 date switch is active, turning on in 2000 (best guess)
This mod is set up and labeled to cause =NO= conflicts with any of the other TMF F-16As buzzing around, as this carries a unique name (see below). Skins remain in their original bmp format, in their original size and resolution (1024x). All markings are decals. Decal Randomization is TRUE. Each skin is provided with 18 historically correct serial number decals. The necessary items provided are drop tanks and pilot seat, the TMF F-16 Effects and Sounds. I've not supplied any other weapons; you should have the needed ones from the various Weapons Packs available at CA . If I missed anything, PLEASE let me know and I'll try to get it fixed.
.
The canopy operates with the Standard Animations Keystroke (tm), Shift/0 (zero). The refueling door opens/closes with the Shift/1 (one) keystroke.
When in-game, on the Aircraft Selection Drop down you'll see:
F-16AM FAP (TMF)
So you can't mistake it for anything other than what it is.
As always fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. So, please read them. The original readme is included. The 'Change Log' is, of course, in the Notes section below.

SF2 F-86F-40 Sabre, EDA (Spain) Skin Pack
By Wrench
SF2 F-86F-40 Sabre, EDA Skin Pack 8/2/2025
-For SF2, Any and All (Full Merged Recommended)
This is a NEW skin for the F-86F-40 Sabre. This is a something of a "salvage operation", as I found this skin/decal set in my archives. It was originally done in 2012, but for reason unremembered, never released!
This set represents Spanish Air Force (Ejército del Aire y del Espacio) Sabres of 1 Ala from approx. 1958, when they started receiving the Sabre. You get 18 historically accurate decals; accurate in the fact they served in the EDA, but I was unable to associate them to a specific squadron or wing. So, consider them to be 'generic' in nature. Please note, the fuselage numbers are the early presentation as when first delivered. The skin is in jpg format, and decal randomization is TRUE. The SF2 date switch is NOT used, however the "startdefaultdate=" is set to 1958. Hopefully it works as advertised.
On the skin selection menu, on the Loadout Page, you'll see:
1 Ala, 12 Esc
As is always recommended, unzip to a temp folder or your desktop to give easy access to the rest of this readme for it's install instructions. As always, give the "Notes" section a quick read for any and all nonsensical ramblings. A small request for information is also down there. :)

SF2 F-86F-40 Sabre, Portuguese Air Force Skin Pack 8/7/2025
-For SF2, Any and All (Full Merged Recommended)
This is a NEW skin for the F-86F-40 Sabre. It is designed to be used on the SF2 F-86F-40 pack available here at CA.
This set represents Portuguese Air Force (Forca Aerea Portuguesa) # 51 Squadron (later renumbered to 201) in approx. 1958, when they started receiving their Sabres. You get 24 historically accurate decals; all have been positively identified as having served in 51/201 Squadron (excepting the very last 2; they're generics). The skin is in jpg format, and decal randomization is TRUE. All markings are decals, excepting the painted squadron color bands on the wingtips, stab tips, and vert fin. The SF2 date switch is NOT used, however the "startdefaultdate=" is set to 1958. Hopefully it works as advertised.
On the skin selection menu, on the Loadout Page, you'll see:
Esq 51 (201) Falcons

SF2 A-7P Corsair II (TMF) FAP Pack
By Wrench
SF2 A-7P Corsair II (TMF) FAP Pack 8/4/2025
-For SF2, Any and All (Full 5 Merged Suggested)
This is a rebuild of TMF's A-7A Corsair II to the A-7P versions as used by the Portuguese Air Force's No. 302 Squadron "Falcons". This, like the Real Life (tm) version, uses the "A" body upgraded with "E" bits. This includes the cockpit and avionics. That is to say, I've (re)used the TMF A-7E cockpit and avionics for this mod. If, for whatever reason, you dislike the TMF cockpit, I've provided the inis and instructions herein to switch over to the stock 3W A-7E_78 cockpit and avionics inis. So, you'll need whichever SF2 game version gave us the A-7E_78 (disremember which one)
This mod is set up and labeled to cause =NO= conflicts with the 3rdWire DLC A-7P, as this carries a unique name (see below). Skins remain in their original bmp format, in their original size and resolution. All markings are decals. Decal Randomization is TRUE. The skin is provided with 18 historically correct serial number decals. The necessary items provided are drop tanks and pilot seat. Weapons used are all stock in-game items. If I missed anything, PLEASE let me know and I'll try to get it fixed.
.
The canopy operates with the Standard Animations Keystroke (tm), Shift/0 (zero). The wing fold is operated by Shift/9 (nine). The refueling probe operates with the Shift/3 (three) keystroke.
When in-game, on the Aircraft Selection Drop down you'll see:
A-7P Corsair II (TMF)
So you can't mistake it for anything other than what it is. This will also differentialize THIS one from the Third Wire DLC, if you happen to have it.
As always fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. So, please read them. The original readme is included. The 'Change Log' is, of course, in the Notes section below.

B-52D "Pacer Plank"
B-52D Pacer Plank
This mod covers the last few years of the B-52Ds service. In 1976, the Pacer Plank upgrade was carried
out by the USAF to reskin the wings of approximately 60 B-52Ds. A further twenty were found to be in good
enough condition to continue service along side the upgraded BUFFs. In addition, the GBU-15 was tested on
several of the upgraded BUFFs, giving an early precision guided weapon capability. Finally, the D models
retained the ability through the end of their careers to carry 4 nuclear weapons, although this was rarely
used.
Included
BD_PP aircraft, decals for the 4 Wings that operated this variant, weapons, sounds and effects
Installation
unzip, add to mod folder of choice. no overwrite should occur. requires SF2 Vietnam or Europe for B-52D model
Notes
1. While tested, the D model never used the GBU-15 in combat. It was also tested with the short pylons, which are not
available here. In light of this and the fact that the Hound Dog pylons are permanent, I set it up to work with those.
There is a value in plinking the Defenses from 10 miles out, then plastering a runway with 80+ bombs minutes moments later.
it is after all, a game. Have a little fun.
2. Water injection on takeoff is simulated by making an "afterburner" that operates from 98-100%. Try not to go above 96%
throttle after take off

IAe 33 Pulqui II
By Trotski
IAe FMA 33 Pulqui II
REDUX
This is a complete overhaul of Foxmonters Pulqui II, it is a relativley old model, so there are a few minor issues with the skin, ie, it was designed for SF1 I think, and as there are zero templates available, I had to make my own, and try and figure out wher bits an pieces are supposed to go. Anyhow, I have completely reworked the skins, new panels and rivets, updated the engine and flight characterisics ( I used the engine and flight stats from the Venom) I have replaced the frankly bloody awful cockpit with the one from the Mystere V, which I think is actually the F84 pit. The aircraft now has drop tanks from the Vampire, I was going to add other weapons, but as there are no pylons for this model, and I did NOT want to use the "fake pilot" method, is is purely a gun armed bird.
There are 6 new skins, 2 Argentine, camo and NMF, 2 Egyptian again camo and NMF 1 Dutch example in green over blue, and finally a Dhimari recce bird in NMF with a sand upper fuselage. I have not redone the Argentine prototype aircraft, as I think it looks crap, so if you want that skin, get the original aircraft, and revell in its utter ugliness The orginal also had a Parani skin, but I feel that it would be more likely for Dhimar to use this aircraft, as it is not a WARPAC plane, also the Egyptian, and Dutch aircraft are the only other skins I have done as no one else actually ordered the Pulqui ( although the orders wer ultimately cancelled, so they ARE what if skins )
I have included an alternative pit, the one from the Vampire, however, you will have to piddle around with it, as the view of the wings from the cockpit seat is rather dreadful, but it's there if you wish to use it insted of the Mystere pit. all the decals have been re done, and of course are included in the package, I have applied spurious stencilling in various places on the airframe, however they are in Polish ( I think ) as I lifted them from the Mig-15, but hey its only window dressing right !!! The sounds are also included, make sure to ammend you soundlist.ini so they work. So read the read me file and the add to soundlist files and you should be frosty.
I have just notiiced I forgot to include the sound for the Gun in the Sounds folder, even though I did put it on the soundlist.ini addition. so please add the sound file attached below.
Any questions please feel free to message me.
As always............................ENJOY

Simmers Paint Shop Color Chips
By Wrench
Simmers Paint Shop Color Chips 6/29/2025
With the loss of Simmers Paint Shop, a lot of fantastic information has been lost forever for those texture artists that like the ability to fully match the proper colors for any and (mostly) all eras and countries.
Listed are not only the color chips, the the R/G/B and Hex values to (re)create them in your own image manipulation programs (GIMP, Photoshop, Paint.net, etc) These are given the US Federal Standard, and for Luftwaffe, the RLM converted to FS coding.
I don't remember when I found these, but here they are. Included are the original png format images, and I've converted them to jpgs for easier viewing with various and sundry programs.
Be advised, the images are QUITE large, so you'll need to zoom in on them.
Included herein are chips for:
Japan - IJN, IJAAF, JASDF
Germany - Luftwaffe RLM/RAL
UK - RAF British Standard
Russia/Soviet Union - VVS colorlist
USA - USAF, USN, US Army
I hope you enjoy these, and make good use of them!!! Even though I uploaded to the SF2 category, these are usefull for any and all games or what-have-yous that you'd like to use them for!! :)
