This is a fast repaint of the F-104G Starfighter.
It represents an F-104J Starfighters as used by the Japanese Air Self Defence Force, 1962 to 1986. Since the Japanese were forbidden at the time to have have aircraft with an offensive capability, I removed everything except IRM, but any weapons you want can be re-added.
There squadrons are included, the 302 Hikotai, 206 Hilotai, and the last user of the "J" Starfighter, the Air Proving Wing at Gifu.
This is not a complete aircraft. There are no LOD's, cockpit or avionics included. To make this work properly, you must have the F-104G Starfighter from SF2 Europe, the cockpit from Strike Fighters and the DLC F-4EJ Phantom II since the serial numbers I used are from that aircraft.
Thanks to TK and his crew for the Starfighter and the game.
Enjoy, Pappy
Update adding Brake chute and Formation lighting.
Readme and required files included.
In 1973-75 all DDR and Poland MiG-17F and Lim-5 in good condition were retrofitted with two extra pylons à la polish Lim-6 fighter-bombers. No brake parachute in german ones.
They served in JBG-31 'Klement Gottwald' until 1986, when they were sold to Mozambique. They had original german camo or new light blue livery.
This little add-on came from Spillone104's and my Lim serie and can be very useful for '70-'80 Nato Figthers campaigns (or modded stock ones) to portrait LSK Jabo unit, before it was equipped with new MiG-23BN or for the long waited South African scenario. So I hope You will like it. it long waited on my HD and this evening decided to share.
What's in:
- a new plane version
- 2 new hardpoints (pylons) for fighter-bomber (jabo) duty;
- 3 skins
Credits:
- cockpit by Stary
- Pylons & sounds Spillone104
- skins & ini edits Paulopanz

The Tigercat in Korea - A brief History
VMF-542 Squadron left San Diego for Japan in late August, 1950, the Tigercats being hoisted aboard the small aircraft carrier USS Cape Esperance. After arriving in Japan, the squadron was based at Itazuke AB for a short period but probably didn't operate over Korea at that time. More likely they were just placed on alert status to counter any potential inbound threats.
After the invasion at Inchon on September 15, VMF-542 began deployment to the newly captured airfield at Kimpo [K-14]. They flew their first combat missions from Kimpo on September 20. Operations from Kimpo were in support of the 1st Marine Division as it attacked northward. VMF-542 likely operated from the frozen Chosin Resevoir during that campaign. During this phase most operations were day and night interdiction, combat air support and armed recon but there is an interesting account of a VMF-542 Tigercat escorting a PR Tigercat [VMJ-1?] all the way to Vladivostok and back.
In January, 1951, VMF-542 moved back to Itazuke, Japan. From there the Tigercats conducted long range armed recon missions as well as doing some spotting for naval gunfire.
During February, 1951, VMF-542 was back in Korea, operating from Pusan [K-1] airfield.
In March, 1951, VMF-542 returned to El Toro, California, to begin training on the F3D Skynight. VMF-542's Tigercats and some pilots were transferred to VMF-513, making VMF-513 a composite squadron with both Tigercats and Corsairs. At some point after being transferred to VMF-513 the Tigercats recieved their rather famous flat black paint jobs. With VMF-513 the Tigercats were flown from Pusan mainly at night with the Corsairs operating in the day time. During the night missions the Tigercats would sometimes team up with flare dropping R4D's and PB4Y Privateers.
In June, 1951, VMF-513 moved to Kangnung [K-18], on the east coast of Korea. It was at this point the Tigercats scored there only aerial victorys, shooting down one PO-2 Biplane in June and another PO-2 in July, both shot down during night operations. From Kangnung the Tigercats also flew long night time patrols protecting the valuable radar station at Cho-do. On the return leg the Tigercats would engage any targets of opportunity. Another task was night time ground controlled radar bombing. The Tigercats would be called in by forward air controllers but the bombing run was calculated and directed by ground controlled radar operators. Yet another task was escorting B-26 Invaders during night time interdiction missions.
At the end of March, 1952, VMF-513 moved to Kunsan [K-8] airfield. The front line was quite static at this time allowing a very heavy concentration of anti-aircraft guns to be built up. For night time combat air support operations, a system was devised were two crossed searchlight beams would be used as a reference point while a FAC would give targeting directions to the Tigercat pilot, based on the position of the crossed seachlight beams. After the first Napalm bombs were dropped the FAC would give directions for further drops by referencing the position of the fire from the first drop.
In late summer, 1952, VMF-513 received twelve F3D SkyKnight fighters and the last of the Tigercats were phased out shortly after.
Soviet and Chinese built radar equipped MiG-17 big pack.
A project lasting from few years, finally completed with Stary's outstanding cockpit.

IAI NESHER SF2I/Full Merged
Aca esta el primero de una nueva serie de la larga familia de aviones Mirage que estamos creando con el equipo de Banidos Team,
"IAI Nesher", mi Delta preferido y uno de los que más acción vio. Pero no es un avion facil de volar,
nunca intentes giros por debajo de los 300km/h si no se tiene suficiente energía.
El paquete contiene nuevos tanques lanzables y un nuevo modelo muy detallado del misil Shafrir-2,
De los efectos se daran cuanta al alcanzar mach 1 que se genera el famoso halo circular alrededor del avión, esto se mantiene solo en esa velocidad.
Como no conozco mucho de escuadrones que integraron los Nesher utilicé los numeros de las decals creadas por Wilco para su skins del nesher original de TW.
Este modelo utiliza el cockpit original del Nesher de TW.

IAI NESHER SF2I/Full Merged
Here's the first of a new series of the long Mirage aircraft's family that we are creating with the Banidos Team,
"IAI Nesher", my favorite Delta and one of those more action. But isn't an easy plane to fly, never attempt turns below 300km/h if there is not enough energy.
The package contains new drop tanks and a new detailed model Shafrir missile.
About effects you'll realize when you reach mach 1 that the famous round halo around the plane is generated, it remains only at that speed.
Since I don't know much of Nesher integrated squads, I used the numbers created by Wilco decals for his skins sets for original TW's Nesher.
This model uses the cockpit of TW original of Nesher.
