IAI Nesher for SF2I
 
This package includes all known single seat Neshers of the IAF. The Nesher was in service from 1971 to 1981 in four different squadrons, three of them before and during the Yom Kippur War, in which the type was used with great success.
By the end of the Yom Kippur War Nesher 510 had shot down 13 enemy aircraft, equalising the record for the highest number of kills for a single Israeli plane, previously held by the Shahaks 58 and 59.
 
No. 101 First Fighter Squadron - 1971-1975
No. 113 Hornet Squadron - 1972-1976
No. 144 Arava Guardians Squadron - 1972-1978
No. 253 The Negev Squadron - 1976-1981
 
A note on the serial numbers: The historical correct serial numbers in this package include two digit numbers as well as three digit serial numbers. All Neshers were numbered at first with the two digit serial numbers,
but with the arrival of the two seater, the single seat model's serial numbers where changed to 5XX while the two seaters were numbered 6XX.

Three skins for ThirdWire's original F-4J from SF2V, showing them as they were painted during the SEA Linebacker campaign in 1972. These are:
 
VF-31 Tomcatters
VF-92 Silverkings
VF-114 Aardvarks
 
Original real life Bu. No. from that cruise are included. The MiG Killers among them are:
 
BuNo 7249 NH206, VF-114, crew Robert Hughes and Adolph Cruz
BuNo 7245 NH201, VF-114, crew Kenneth Pettigrew and Michael McCabe
BuNo 7269 NG211, VF-92, crew Curtis Dose and James McDevitt
BuNo 7307 AC106, VF-31, crew Samuel Flynn and William John
 
These skins are heavily based on those Ravenclaw_007 did for WoV, e.g.
 
http://forum.combatace.com/files/file/8226-f-4j-vf-33-tarsiers/
 
which were again based on Sundowner's famous hi-res template, e.g.
 
http://www.column5.us/phantoms.htm
 
Thus big kudos to them!
 
I just took pieces from both, cleaned them up and made my own templates, modified them and added all bits to fit the mapping of the new meshes from SF2V. Made new decals… et voilà.
Textures are 1024*1024 size.

This mod is a quick fix to revise the default camouflage skin to have the early tail codes.
I have used the stock silver skin tail numbers and added the "USAF" above them using a stock Third Wire "USAF" decal.
I have included an Excel spreadsheet listing the tailnumbers included and documenting as much as I know about that tail number.
I have also inlcuded jpg files from the internet that show what quite a few of them really looked like.
There are three basic variations: all white, black "USAF" with white number, and all black.
 
This is a completely separate skin so it does not overwrite any of the stock skins.
It is a copy of the default camo skin with ini edits to use the new tail codes.
 
To install this, simply copy the "Objects" folder extracted from this download to the "Objects" folder of the desired install's mod folder.
This pastes in the new skin for the F-105D and F-105D_66 as well as a new folder for the F-105 tail number decals.
 
This mod may be used by anyone to do anything as long as it does not involve payware.
The base decals were stock Third Wire decals, so they definitely should not end up being reused in any form of payware.

Elek said: "On the right side of the planes, the numbers are indeed in Arabic,
but the letter should also be in Arabic.
It should be the letter "lam" which is the equivalent to the letter "L" in English. They do look similar."
 
He send to me the "lam" font and I have redone the decal set following his hints.
 
Thanks Elek.
 
 
Enjoy 1.1

Sometimes ago I made LSK/NVA historical serials using Soulfreak’s temps, including “Q” badges on known planes.
I wanted to use them on a silver and maybe a camo skin.
But TK made the Camo for SF2EU and Gepard the bluesilver one for SF1.
 
So I used my decals with those existing skins to add a bit of authenticy to the game.
 
I hope You like it.

What’s in:
 
1- original TK skin numbers and patch;
2- original TK skin with new decals;
3- Gepard’s NVAHellblau skin with new decals;
 
To Install: simply put everything in your main mod folder.
 
 
Thanks to Gepard who kindly allowed me to use his brand new NVAHellblau skin in SF2
