https://combatace.com/files/file/17262-sf2-dhc-1-chipmunk-pack/
otherwise, this should work in any version of SF2
Installation
unzip main folder.
Place objects folder in the objects folder of your chosen install.
place templates folder wherever you need to, in order to create more skins. templates are available in xcf for Gimp users and psd for Photoshop users

note: the patches layers are set to create a ribbed effect on the pertinent airfoils. they are set so that you should be able to use them with any other design

BRIXMIS History
 The British Commander in Chiefs Mission or BRIXMIS for short was a mission that used the legal ability of a certain number of British servicemembers to roam the
Soviet Zone of Occupation, generally known as East Germany. Reciprocity was enjoyed by the Soviets in the former British Zone of Occupation.
The airborne component of BRIXMIS flew out of RAF Gatow in Berlin. An observer rode in the front and took pictures of Soviet military activities and equipment within
a 20 mile radius of Berlin, flying under cover of "exercising the right to navigate within the flight corridors to and from Berlin".
Serials provided are in pairs for each period of time operated, but in one overall skin
WK303, WK587 from 1956-1966
WP850, WP971 from 1966-1974
WZ862, WD289 from 1974-1988
WG466, WG486 from 1988-1990

*For SF2 -ONLY-!! Full-5 Merged Reccomended*
 
This package contains a skin for the recently released (skippybing) Hawker Seafury. You can find the base aircraft at the following URL (and you'll need it to add these skins to):
 
http://combatace.com/files/file/15390-sf2-kaw-hawker-sea-fury-sb-pack/
 
Reminder: this is =ONLY= a skin/decal pak!

You have skins for the following squadrons:
 
803 NAS, crica 1951
870 NAs (aka VF-870) circa 1953
 
The SF2 'date switch' is active, so VF-870 will turn on in 1953.
All markings, execpting the fin flash, are decals (due to running out of meshes). Decal randomization is TRUE for both skins.
Also included, from eburger's SF2NA Ulitmate CV Pack, are slightly modified versions of the HMCS Bonaventure & Magnificent. See "Notes" for change log.
 
As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. PLEASE read them after Unzipping but =BEFORE= installing!! Also, as usual, give the "Notes and Comments" section a read, too.

As stated above, you MUST have -at the very least, SF2:I and Expansion Pak 1 to gain access to the Meteor F8. If you do NOT have these minimum requirements, Do Not Download this Mod, as you'll be unable to use it.
 
This pak contains a skin a decal set replicating Meteor F8s from RAAF 77 Squadron, 1951-ish time frame, during the Korean War. The serial numbers are 100% historicaly accurate for
those airframes assigned 77 Sqdn during Korea. Number randomization has been activated, so make sure you're at LEAST at the June, 2011 patch level. Three historical Korean-Era nose arts are included. They are 'name listed' next to their serial numbers, selectable from the drop-down on the Loadout Screen.

The Hunter F.4 first flew on 20 October 1954, and entered service in March 1955. A distinctive Hunter feature added on the F.4 was the pair of blisters under the cockpit, which collected spent ammunition links to prevent airframe damage. Crews dubbed them "Sabrinas" after the contemporary movie star. 365 built in service till '57.

The Hunter F.2, which used the Armstrong-Siddeley Sapphire engine, did not suffer from engine issue. Further problems occurred; ejected cannon ammunition links had a tendency to strike and damage the underside of the fuselage, and diverting the gas emitted by the cannon during firing was another necessary modification. The original split-flap airbrakes caused adverse changes in pitch trim and were quickly replaced by a single ventral airbrake. This meant, however, that the airbrake could not be used for landings.Only 45 planes were built and entered in service only with 257 and 263 squadrons.

The Hunter F.1 entered service with the Royal Air Force in July 1954. It was the first high-speed jet aircraft equipped with radar and fully powered flight controls to go into widespread service with the RAF.
The Hunter replaced the Gloster Meteor, the Canadair Sabre, and the de Havilland Venom jet fighters in service. Initially, low internal fuel capacity restricted the Hunter's performance, giving it only a maximum flight endurance of about an hour. A tragic incident occurred on 8 February 1956, when a flight of eight Hunters was redirected to another airfield due to adverse weather conditions.
Six of the eight aircraft ran out of fuel and crashed, killing one pilot. Another difficulty encountered during the aircraft's introduction was the occurrence of surging and stalling with the Avon engines.

The RAF '70 line UP is here with: 12, 15, 16, 208, 216, 237 Squadrons.

Royal New Zealand Airforce DH Venom Skin
 
For use with the SF2 DH Venom by Paulopanz found here http://combatace.com...11004-dh-venom/
 
Instillation: Place files in apropriate location and allow to override (adds correct RNZAF years to Userlist.ini)
 
History: Venoms were lent to the Royal New Zealand Air Force by the RAF to supplement the RNZAF’s Vampires and were used in the Malayan Emergency where they operated by No. 14 Squadron.
 
UPDATED 31/01/11 RAF letters added to wing tip tanks after Pasko helped me out with the mesh names. However there is a small bit of bleed through on the bottom of the tanks from the decal. Because of this there are two folders in the download: One with the wing tip decals which is historically accurate. And one without the decals if you can’t live with the bleed through lol. You choose.
 
 

Royal New Zealand Airforce Vampire Skins for No. 75 Squadron

Instillation: Place files in appropriate location
