Cold War Aircraft Skins

In the '50 several south american countries entered in jet age with the Shooting Star
This huge skinpack portaits these airforces:
- Brazil  (33 delivered starting in 1958, withdrawn from service in 1973)
- Chile  (30 delivered from 1958 on, last ones retired from service in 1974)
- Colombia  (16 delivered starting in 1958, retired by 1966)
- Ecuador  (16 delivered between 1957 and 1960, six returned to the United States in 1965)
- Peru   (16 delivered starting in 1958, the type was phased out in 1973)
- Uruguay  (17 delivered, withdrawn from use in 1971)
Why this little, quite heavy (see the FACh camo skin ...) effort?
Because this is a fantastic, maybe underated, model made by great 3D master Erikgen and these exotic skins are pretty. (Aren't they?)
<ENRICO CI MANCHI!>
WHAT'S IN:
- 13 new skins
- Historical Serial numbers
- Brazilian Playcards ...
CREDITS:
- Enrico Gennari aka "EriKgen" plane model
- Kenin Stein aka "Wrench" original FAC skin used as a base from my own house templates
- Geary aka "Geary" for some layers I was able to extract from his temps I couldn't use due my old PS suite
INSTALL:
- You must have Erikgen F-80C installed
- deliver all files inside "to mod folder" folder to your own mod folder (isn't it easy?)
Carpe diem .... and fly higher and higher, please.

Hi,

Just something I whipped up real fast after I saw the loading screen of the renewed F-4G (65-66 USN)...
I noticed it wasn't overall green, but resembled the lizard scheme very much. So I fiddled around with
some different available skins (I think the lizard skin is TW and other parts came from the green standard skin of the aircraft)
and quickly made this to add some variation in an almost real life manner...

Credits and thanks to Wrench and Kevin Stein for the F-4G USN

SF2 F-86A Sabre, 1st Fighter group Skin Pack       7/24/2019
-For SF2, Any and All (Full Merged Recommended)
This is a NEW skin pack for the F-86A Sabre. It is designed to be used on the F-86A-5 available from SF2 KAW Sabres Pack. The Sabre(s) are to be found at the following URL:
https://combatace.com/files/file/13604-sf2-korean-war-era-f-86-sabre-pak/
**Be advised! These are for CONUS based Sabres ONLY!! Do =not= use this set within your KAW mods folder! You are advised to have the aircraft installed into another mods folder for proper year-span & theatre usage.**
This skin set represents the 3 squadrons of the 1st Fighter Group in 1949 when they received the first operational F-86A Sabres at March AFB, and later based George AFB here in California. In the 1950s, the squadrons were dispersed across the US in the Air Defence role, but that's another story. 
The squadrons are:
94th FIS "Hat in the Ring"
27th FIS "Fighting Eagles"
71st FIS "The Ironmen"
The skins are in jpg format, and each have 26 all NEW serial number decals.  On the number list for each squadron (individial aircraft serial) drop down, any serial marked with a star (*) has been positively identified as having served in that squadron. Those marked with a cross/plus sign, (+) have been identified as having been assigned to the 1st FG. Those without any markings are generic F-86A serials. It should be noted, due to a lack of a full squadron roster, some of the serials will be repeated across all three squadrons. This could not be helped. ALL markings are decals, expecially the squadron flashes on the fuselage. Other squadron markings, the tail bands, are painted on for each squadron.
On the skin selection menu, on the Loadout Page, you'll see:
94th FIS, 1st FG (49-54)
27th FIS, 1st FG (49-54)
71st FIS, 1st FG (49-54)
As the game tends to order things by number in the aircraft main ini (F-86A.ini), you may want to edit them into the order shown above. The 94th was the first operational unit, followed by the 27th, and lastly the 71st.
The SF2 "date switch" =IS= active on this skin. It will automatically be chosen as the default skin(s) from 1949. As these units were never deployed outside the Continental US, it is NOT reccomended they be used in your KAW install. 
As is always reccomended, unzip to a temp folder or your desktop to give easy access to the rest of this readme for the install instructions. For more information on the 1st FG, you are encouraged to look up it's long and distinguished history from World War 1 to the Present Day.
As an added bonus, a one sheet "expliotation" comic-style jpg is enclosed in the main aircraft folder. It's from one of the Hollywood "newspapers" (read: tabloids) of the time. I stumbled across it, and now share it with you all!! 

Happy Landings!

SF2 C-54 Skymaster, Arctic Skins Pack       6/7/2019
- For SF2, Full 5 Merged (Reccomended )
This contains 2 new skins for Veltro2k's C-54 Skymaster. The aircraft itself can be found at the following url, for those that don't have it already:
https://combatace.com/files/file/14309-sf2-douglas-c-54-skymaster-by-veltro2k/
These are somewhat generic skins for those USAF units that flew in the high latatudes (Arctic & Antarctic) during the late 1940s through the mid-1950s. Both aircraft carry the nose and tail Military Air Transport Command (MATS) badges, correct for the time. 
Both aircraft have the standard arctic red tail and wing easy ID markings.
"Arctic 1" is in all Natural Metal finish. It is badged for MATS Altantic Division
"Arctic 2" is in NMF with the post-1955 white anti-heat treatment on the upper cabin. It is badged for MATS Pacific Division. No specific units are represented.
Both skins use a 'pool' of serial numbers and other markings. Serial numbers are generic in nature, but are for the correct model C-54.  Decal randomization is TRUE for both. The SF2 Date switch is =NOT= used on either skin, as this would mess up the standard switching from NMF to NMF/White on the other skins.
When in game, on the Loadout Screen, in the skin selection window, you'll see:
Arctic Red (1948-54)
Arctic Red (1955<)
This way, you should be able to select the proper skin for the time frame to be flown in.
As is always reccomended, unzip to a temp folder or your desktop to give easy access to the rest of this readme for it's install instructions. 

Happy Landings!

SF2 F-86A Sabre, 115th FIS, California ANG Skin Pack       6/9/2019
-For SF2, Any and All (Full Merged Reccomended)
This is a NEW skin for the F-86A Sabre. It is designed to be used on the SF2 KAW Sabres Pack, for the F-86A-5 available therein. The Sabres are to be found at the following URL:
https://combatace.com/files/file/13604-sf2-korean-war-era-f-86-sabre-pak/
Also included is a new data ini, with updated hit and collision boxes, and some meshes now correctly named. Honestly, I'd never noticed they were 'way off' until Mue's LOD Viewer! Please note, that Crusader's fix-its have already been applied to THIS versions' data ini. A backup copy of the original (2012) data ini is supplied, so as to lessen End User (tm) workload, and provide a safety net 'just in case'.
This skin repesents the 115th Fighter Interceptor Squadron of the California Air National Guard from 1954 through 1959-ish.  The skin is in jpg format, and 26 all NEW serial number decals have been created for it.  While the serial numbers are historically correct for the A model, they should beconsidered generic in nature as they don't actually represent aircraft from this particular unit. However, at least 9 of these ARE actual aircraft used by the 115th; the rest =were= used by other CA ANG units. Decal randomization is TRUE. Squadron color markings are 'painted on' the skin maps. 
On the skin selection menu, on the Loadout Page, you'll see:
115th FIS, CA ANG (54-59)
The SF2 "date switch" =IS= active on this skin. It will automatically be chosen for years of 1954 and later.
As is always reccomended, unzip to a temp folder or your desktop to give easy access to the rest of this readme for it's install instructions. 

Happy Landings!

SF2 F-86E Sabre, 144th FIS, Alaska ANG Skin Pack       6/5/2019
-For SF2, Any and All (Full Merged Reccomended)
This is a complete revamp of a 1stGen Sabre skin by Dave "USAFMTL" Slavins from June, 2003. It is designed to be used on the SF2 KAW Sabres Pack, for the F-86E-10 available therein. The Sabres are to be found at the following URL:
https://combatace.com/files/file/13604-sf2-korean-war-era-f-86-sabre-pak/
Also included is a new data ini, with updated hit and collision boxes, and some meshes now correctly named. Honestly, I'd never noticed they were 'way off' until Mue's LOD Viewer! Please note, that Crusader's fix-its have already been applied to THIS versions' data ini. A backup copy of the original (2013) data ini is supplied, so as to lessen End User (tm) workload, and provide a safety net 'just in case'.
This skin repesents the 144th Fighter Interceptor Squadron of the Alaska Air National Guard from 1955 through 1957-ish, when their mission changed from Air Defense to Airlift.  The skin is in jpg format, and 26 all NEW decals have been created for it.  While the serial numbers are historically correct for the E model, they should beconsidered generic in nature as they don't actually repsent aircraft from this particular unit. Decal randomization is TRUE.
On the skin selection menu, on the Loadout Page, you'll see:
144th FIS AK ANG (1954-58)
The SF2 "date switch" is NOT active on this skin. You'll have to select this skin for your flightmates by hand. However it is easily added by a simple text edit.
As is always reccomended, unzip to a temp folder or your desktop to give easy access to the rest of this readme for it's install instructions. 

Happy Landings!
