This is all of Sundowner's 2048x2048 F-4B skins for SF2 plus a couple that were previously unreleased. They have been converted to .JPG's. Also includes bump maps that match his skins and replacements for the stock TW F-4B skins. Released with his permission.
this is just a quick skin for Marcfighters Mi-8 ......nothing more, nothing less
i noticed that no one had bothered to create a VPAF skin for this thing and it seemed like a no brainier
a set of skins for Yakarovs UH-1H Huey
included is a skin for:
a UH-1H Medevac unit of the 498th Medical Detachment
a RAAF UH-1H of 9th Squadron Vietnam
and a Generic South Vietnamese chopper used after 1973
more coming when i can be bothered to do some more research on this bird
installation is simple, drop the skin folders into your UH-1H folder and add their entries to the UH-1H.ini
and place the decals folder in your decals folder
thats it
Thanks to Yakarov, i borrowed the decals from his HH-1 to use on the Medavac unit
its another one of his models so i figured he wouldnt care
A new texture for the loved "Sukhoi Su-57 (Pak-Fa)
This is a freewere mod, can't be sell
Enjoy ;)

USAF KC-135 Skinpack 2: 1974 through 1987
This skin pack will feature skins for all USAF KC-135 users from 1974 until 1987. This includes the Air National Guard and Air Force Reserves as the aircraft became available.
Requirements: any version of Strike Fighters 2, and the KC-135 mod found here
Installation:
first, get the Mirage Factory C-135A/B and KC-135A/E/R 1.0 from the above link (if you dont have it already)
then unzip this to the mod folder, allowing overwrites.
Known Issues:
this is meant as eye candy. unfortunately, SF2 doesnt support air to air refueling so the best to be done is set up a recon mission and then park it in an orbit.
Also, Dels C-130 pit does not line up with the model very well. it is included mainly so that it can be player selected (i had to test it somehow).
In the skins with ADC tgas, loading more than 8 aircraft on a mission will produce irregularities (like only the front half of the camo showing). So far I have not seen more than 8 on a ramp, and it is doubtful you need to load more than that in one area for a mission. Just be warned if you throw all 16 in at once.
BTW, this thing is huge!!! over 3 1/2 GB size
So, Whats Included?:
Skins with at least two examples from every USAF unit to fly the KC-135 from 1974 - 1987, with separate skins for Active Duty and reserve forces
Colors represented include silver lacquer, ADC gray, and Shamu dark grey over medium grey.
Skins from 1987 have a mix of Shamu and ADC grey colors as tga. Same skin, two different paint jobs
Skins from 1983-1985 have a mix of ADC grey and silver lacquer colors. Skins from the 1970s are all silver lacquer and minimal tail markings
Engines on the A models were adjusted to produce heavy smoke at max thrust. Burning water, just like the real thing.
Drogue to simulate refueling probe equipped aircraft. Added in loadout screen

USAF KC-135 Skinpack 3: Late 1980s
This skin pack will feature skins for all USAF KC-135 users from the late 1980s. This includes the Air National Guard and Air Force Reserves. Many of the skins serials and nose arts are the same as in ODS, which the aircraft would participate in a few years after this period. This also represents the era that the Shamu scheme became more common and that nose art made a comeback on USAF aircraft.
Requirements:
any version of Strike Fighters 2, and the KC-135 mod found here
Installation:
first, get the Mirage Factory C-135A/B and KC-135A/E/R 1.0 from the above link (if you dont have it already)
then unzip this to the mod folder, allowing overwrites.

This skinpack adds in historical aircraft as used in Desert Storm for the A, E and R models KC-135. It is as close as possible with unit markings and features several nose arts.
Included
Skins and decals for KC-135A/E/R models
Cockpit and ini edits to make player flyable
Required
you will need the original KC-135 pack available here
Installation
download and install the above mod per its instructions
unzip this mod, then install new mod folder categories to your mod folder (Aircraft to aircraft etc)
allow overwrites
fire up game, take off and go pass gas
KNOWN ISSUES
This was originally an AI only aircraft. I added Dels C-130 pit so that it was flyable and I could check my work. That said, it is best to not fly from the cockpit as the Hercules' window frames don't match with the Stratotanker's windows.
UNIQUE FEATURES
As with most of my large aircraft mods, the skins are tga based. this means if you look for a Baby Shamu skin, you will only see a plain grey skin. When you fire it up in game, you will see a mix of ADC Grey and Baby Shamu.
AT THE START OF EACH SERIAL NUMBER IN THE DROP DOWN IS A LETTER, (a) FOR ADC Grey WITH FULL COLOR AND (s) FOR THE CAMO'D Baby Shamu SCHEME WITH SUBDUED MARKINGS
