SF2 F-4S Templates by Sundowner

My intrest in skinning for the Strike Fighters series is getting less nowadays so I've decided to release some "trimmed down" templates for a couple of the F-4's.
You can tweak/modify them as you all see fit, but just remember where you got them in the first place when you release summat.
 
Also, they are just basic as in one model, it might be worth copying them and renaming them with the correct model naming...ie F-4B_67_1 etc, etc.
 
Just remember skinning is supposed to be fun, dont get stressed about it, experiment & dont be afraid to ask questions.
 
Enjoy

This represents the CAG Bird in 2006 when VF-31 returned back to the states before transitioning to the Super Hornet.
 
This is an old redo from the old Tomcat to the new Mirage Factory F-14B. NOTE Due to the mapping that this cannot be used on the older
Tomcat models. IF you are looking for that check the skin downloads section as it's still there.
 
With thanks to Vampyre for his reference photos. Templates are from The Mirage Factory and due to mapping constraints I tried to get it as clean as possible, sorry for any errors.

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.

Due to the specialised tanks, it is only designed for Strike Fighters 2 only.
 
Drop in the FA-18F directory and fly.
