Well after a couple of months, i finally could release this pack, i tried to get as much information as possible, so if i have something wrong, just let me know and i will try to fix it:)
 
These skins are made for Lindr2´s MiG-23M´s and they were released for SF2 use by Eburger, you can find the main files here:
 
Part 1: http://combatace.com/files/file/12151-sf2-mig-23-mig-27-floggers-part-1/
Part 2: http://combatace.com/files/file/12150-sf2-mig-23-mig-27-floggers-part-2/
Part 3: http://combatace.com/files/file/12149-sf2-mig-23-mig-27-floggers-part-3/
 
i´ve arranged everything for you just to drop it in the main folder for the game of your choice, it can be used in every and all versions of SF2.
 
I´ve made 2 Gray skins for the early M`s, one for VVS and the other PVO use, and 3 skins for the regular M`s one gray, one in desert colors for far east use and last a PVO one for use in europe.
 
Numbers were mere repaints of some i´ve found in my hard drive, i don´t know who made them, so if you recognize them, let me know and i will credit you:)
 
I also added Hangar and Loading screens for the planes and added the main ini, caution, if you don´t like the skins just don´t use the ini, because it will put my skins up front in the game.
 
Later variants for the Flogger family will be made, including MiG-27`s who are in the list, and the MiG-23ML´s to balance power in SF2:NA.
 
This skin set couldn´t be made without my brother Daniel "Cocas" Liebaert who patiently showed me the how´s for skinning, a big thanks to him.
 
Also to Lindr2 who made the base for the plane, hope we can see you soon sir!!!
 
And to all the advices given here like Wrench, who gave me a hint in stenciling.
 
Need to let you know this templates were made in 2048 x 2048 resolution, they might give you issues in weak rigs, but can be easily rescaled down.
 
I really hope you enjoy this pack, and hope i can continue making more.
 
Regards.

Avro Vulcan B2 XH562 'Zapped' in RNZAF 75 Squadron Markings
 
 
In 1972 XH562 of the NEAF Bomber (Akrotiri) Wing at RAF Masirah was spectacularly 'zapped' with RNZAF markings by the Royal New Zealand Air force whilst the aircraft was visiting New Zealand.
 
 
To install simply un zip then copy and past into your mods folder. It won't override anything but you will need to click yes and let the folders merge.
 
 
You will need the Avro Vulcan B.2(*) for SF2 by paulopanz:

ANG KC-135R StratoTanker Skins Part 3
 
Contained within this pack are skins for the following ANG units:
 
117th ARW - Alabama ANG. I found an online photo with a special 'Auburn' tail art on a Alabama ANG KC-135R from 2007.
126th ARW - Illinois ANG. I found a photo with updated Illinois ANG tail art on airfighters.com from 2011.
121st ARW - Ohio ANG.
 
Updated file for Iowa ANG:
I re-vamped the tail for this aircraft with a new font that closely resembles the actual tail on the 185th ARW's KC-135Rs.
 
Installation:
 
1) Unzip and place the Ohio ANG, Alabama ANG 2007 and Illinois ANG 2011 folders in your KC-135R main folder.
 
2) Add the texture sets to your KC-135R.ini file.

Open the Iowa ANG tail folder contained in this pack, select the .bmp file in this folder. Open the Iowa ANG folder from the previous pack that you installed. Paste the new .bmp file in this pack in the folder from the previous pack, and allow for overwrite. This will replace the old file with the new (and better!) file.
 
 
Thanks to the following:
 
- TK and Thirdwire
- 'Dave' for the following:
- For the KC-135R model original release.
- The 'ANG' on the tail and the ANG emblem on all of the skins were taken from the KC-135E model.
- Due to lack of references on the tail numbers, all of the skins in this pack use the KC-135E tail numbers.
 
- airliners.net, airfighters.com, and af.mil for skin references
 
Happy Tanking!

ANG C-130H Hercules Skins
 
Contained within this pack are skins for the following ANG units:
 
179th AW - Ohio ANG
133rd AW - Minnesota ANG
153rd AW - Wyoming ANG
130th AW - West Virginia ANG
143rd AW - Rhode Island ANG
166th AW - Delaware ANG

176th WG - Alask ANG
 
Installation:
 
1) Unzip and place the folders in your C-130H main folder
 
2) Add the texture sets to your C-130H.ini file
 
3) Fly away!
 
All of the artwork is to the best of my abilities. The Wyoming ANG tail band has a cowboy decal on the actual aircraft, but I was unable to design a suitable decal on the tail, so I left it off. Also, the Rhode Island tailwork is actually on a C-130J model, but I didn't find that out until after I designed the skin, so I included it anyways. Feel free to not install if you so choose.
 
 
Thanks to the following:
 
- TK and Thirdwire
- 'Dave'
- Original Model by Dels, additional work by bpao (RIP Oli)

Super Mystere Sa'ar, Fuerza Aérea Hondureña (Honduran Air Force)
-- For SF2, Full-4 Merged (Prefered) and/or any combination -WITH- SF2:I --
 
This mod =REQUIRES= a Full-4 Merged install, or at the very least, SF2:I for the various and sundry bits used herein (to, wit, the Mystere IVA cockpit from SF2:I). If you do NOT have the minimum required game installs, DO NOT DOWNLOAD THIS MOD, as you won't be able to use it.
 
This is a mod of the SF2:I Super Mystere Sa'ar into those as used by the Honduran Air Force. This depicts the aircraft as originally delivered to the FAH in 1976, still wearing the 3-tone IDF desert camo.
 
As the Sa'ar is not player flyable "out of the box", this pak will make it so, using the Mystere IVA cockpit (also from SF2I -hence, it's requirement!!). This package can be used in one of 2 ways:
 
1) As an add-on skin for the Sa'ar (with the included, adjusted userlist ini) or
 
2) As a stand-alone, nationalized aircraft.
 
All the various inis, skin and decals are provided for either choice. Instructions are in the "To Install" section. 100% historicaly correct FAH serial number decals are included.
The canopy has been activated; use Shift/0 to open and close.
 
As always, READ the enclosed readme for full, detailed instructions. This package has been broken down into the various folders that SF2 needs, to make it a LOT easier to install (read: drag and drop).
 
Have fun with it!
