Original text by David F. Brown:
 
Don't know if the Swordsmen have finalized a 100th Anniversary of US Naval Aviation paint scheme. I've attached a scheme designed by Author/Historian David F. Brown and Aviation Artist/Illustrator Geoff Martin.
Hopefully, at least to the Swordsmen, this scheme will need no explanation. But for those who are not familiar with VF-32 operations during the Koren War, this scheme is a mix of markings worn by F4U-4 Corsairs
flown by Ens Jesse Leroy Brown, the Navy's first black Naval Aviator and Lt(jg) Thomas Hudner. Lt Hudner was awarded the Congressional Medal Of Honor when he attempted to rescue Ens Brown after he was shot down
over North Korea. Unfortunately, Lt Brown died from injuries sustained in his forced landing. I cannot think of a more fitting tribute to these former Swordsmen.
 
This scheme was found on the VFA-32 Swordsman Facebook page, and after getting halfway through with it, I found out it wasn't accepted. However, I thought it was pretty cool so I finished it, with the knowledge of
David F. Brown. All original work is form him and Geoff Martin from Afterburner Decals, though none were used.

Sundowner was kind enough to give me the "OK" to upload these excellent skins!
 
Copy/paste the contents of each folder to the proper folder files.
 
Make sure you make the added changes to your "textureset"
 
I name the decal folders after the "stock" Kurnass_78 folder (IDFCamo 1). If you want to adapt to Kurnass_73 or_75, you need to make the name changes and decal changes accordingly.
 
 
Note: The decals files does not really need to be added... Since Sundowner did a great job on how the skin is apply to the model.
But in case it does not work for you for some reason it is best to add it to your decal folder.

Dassault Sambad & IAI Sa'ar (1958-1975)
 
This skin pack for Thirdwire's stock Super Mystère B2 (Sambad, from the acronym SMBD) and Sa'ar (Tempest) covers every Sambad and Sa'ar in Israeli service from 1958 to 1975. It includes several skins for each type that reflect changed paintschemes, attrition, losses, replenishments and upgrades. The serial numbers are as real as it gets, but due to lack of reliable and/or complete information, some service dates might be wrong.
 
The Sambad was the IAF's first supersonic fighter and also its first aircraft with an afterburning engine. On December 4th 1958, the first Israeli Super Mystères arrived at Hatzor's No. 105 Scorpion Squadron. When the J52-P-8A engine became available with the introduction of the A-4 Ayit in late 1967, IAF engineers suggested it replacing the Sambad's unreliable Atar 101G-3 engine. While not afterburning, the J52 was lighter and more powerful than the original engine, allowing for more ordnance and an extended range. Other modifications to the original airframe included an extended rear fuselage to accomodate the new engine (also anticipating and inspiring the 'barrel mod' on the Ayits) and two new hardpoints for the Shafrir 2 air-to-air missile. The first upgraded Sambad - now called IAI Sa'ar - entered service in 1969 and conversion was complete in early 1973. Only two years later, in March 1975, the Sa'ars of No. 105 Squadron were replaced with the F-4E Kurnass. The remaining Sa'ars were sold to Honduras in 1976.

These are just two skins for the F-23A. One is a desert skin the other is sort of an artic skin. Figured the F-23A was in need of some variety of skins so I tweaked the ones that came with the original F-23A. Just drop the contents into the StrikeFighters2 folder where you've placed all of your downloaded content in. If you have other custom skins, then back-up your F-23A.ini file because it will get over-written.

Set of skins done with Klavs81's templates.
Tested on Wings Over Europe (unmerged).
 
The USMC's answer to the F-117A...good old VMFA-513 Flying Nightmares!

What you'll need:
- F-35A/B/C Lightning II V 2.5 for SF2 by FastCargo - (http://combatace.com...i-v-25-for-sf2/).
 
To install just drop the skin folder into the aircraft folder and decals folder into...well you know by now where.
 
Have fun!
