Comet KSK-aircraft "K". Experimental aircraft- analog cruise missile ?S-1. Comet Stalin.
History:
 
...The first flight carried out analog test pilot Amet-Khan Sultan from the Air Force Institute Chkalov airfield in January 4, 1951, then the test was moved to the Crimean Air Force test site. From May began air starts counterpart aboard the Tu-4. Total participated in the testing of four aircraft "K", which Amet-Khan, S.Anohin, F.Burtsev, V. Pavlov and P.Kazmin completed 150 flights. With the transition to working out starts on the real target was adjusted guidance and control system "Comet" - an analog of relief after walking on the target, like a combat missile, and only in the final section of the pilot shut off homing, took it over and come back to the airfield. All flights went well, although the pilots consider them extremely difficult. In one such flight analogue Amet-Khan escaped suspension with an inoperative engine that could only run at the water, the other - at Burtsev turning off the autopilot and he hardly overpowering servos, barely able to turn away from the target ship...

These are the Photoshop templates for my C-130 Superpack.
 
Please note that these templates are different to my older C-130 templates and will not work with my older C-130 models.
 
Dels

Entirely based on the CF-105 made by FastCargo that can be found here :
http://combatace.com/files/file/13267-avro-arrow-cf-105-mark-ii/
 
I did the panel lines and rivets and did the skin for all 6 aircrafts (initial schemes plus RL-203 extended lines on wings).
 
You may use the skin files only or use it as an entire aircraft.
 
No decals as they were pre-production birds so everything is put on the skin itself.
 
All congrats shall go to FastCargo for putting up a great plane like this and the one's who helped him to make it a reality!

E-50 Class Escort Rapide
 
The E-50 Class Escort Rapide were destroyers built for the French Navy after the Second World War.

The Le Corse class (or E50 Type) was a class of 4 fast frigates (Escorteurs Rapide) built for the French Navy in the early 1950s.
They were first surface combatant class of ships to be built after World War II and symbolized "the revival of the French fleet."
They were followed by the Le Normand-class (or E52 Type) frigates, and like them, were long-range convoy escorts capable of high speed.
The E50 type shared a flush-decked layout with the E52 class, and had a similar armament of three twin 57mm turrets) (one forward and two aft) and an anti-submarine armament consisting of a battery of heavyweight guided torpedoes and a 375mm Bofors six-barrel rocket launcher.

E-52b Class Escort Rapide
Le Normand
 
The E-52 Class Escort Rapide were destroyers/Frigates built for the French Navy after the Second World War.
The Le Normand class (or E52 Type) was a class of 14 fast frigates (Escorteurs Rapide) built for the French Navy in the late 1950s.
They were an immediate follow-on from the earlier Le Corse-class (or E50 Type) frigates, and like them, were long-range convoy escorts
capable of high speed.
The first seven ships, paid for by the United States under the Mutual Defense Assistance Act were ordered in 1952.
The remaining seven ships were paid for by France and ordered between 1953 and 1955.
 
The E52 type shared a flush-decked layout with the E50 class, and had a similar armament of three twin 57mm turrets)
(one forward and two aft) and an anti-submarine armament consisting of a battery of heavyweight guided torpedoes and a 375mm Bofors
six-barrel rocket launcher.
The major difference was the layout of the armament, with the torpedo tubes moving from forwards to amidships, and the Bofors launcher
moving from amidships to forward of the bow gun, thus reducing topweight and improving the arc of fire for the Bofors launcher.
================================================================================================================
E-52b
The last three ships were completed as a modified version, the Type E52B.
This replaced the amidships turret and the Bofors rocket launcher with a new 305mm anti-submarine mortar mounted amidships.
Two more of this type were ordered in 1957, but were cancelled owing to financial problems.
