    2. F-16 Netz “Desert Viper”

      By steelflanker

      F-16 Netz “Desert Viper”
      ------------------------
       
      Requires: SF2 Israel!!
      ----------------------
       
       
      A fictional 2 tone Desert skin for the Third Wire F-16.
       
      I’ve based it on the original Israeli camouflage scheme & have unofficially assigned to
      Israel’s 116 (Flying Wing Squadron)
       
      However it could make a great mercenary skin or as a fun addition to those “Special Ops” for an air force & squadron of your own.
       
      This is my first attempt at skinning the Netz & decided to keep it simple.
      When time allows I’ll try something a little more authentic & perhaps a little different next time.
      Notably, it may not be as good as those masterpieces that you are used to but
      I hope you have fun with it anyway.
       
      Enjoy :- )
       
      SF
       
       
      Installation:
      ____________
       
      Unzip & place in your Strike Fighters 2 “Mods” folder.
       
      Credits:
      _______
       
      Third Wire:
       
      - for the original artwork.
       
      Wrench:
       
      - For his fantastic F-16A templates that took 90% of the hard work out of creating this skin.
      Thank you.

    4. F-15A darker grey colourscheme for stock SF2E Eagle

      By Syrinx

      A darker grey more modern colour for the stock Thirdwire F-15A for SF2E.
       
      Gives the Eagle a little more menace !
       
      Uses the stock decals and is itself a rework of the original bluer shade F-15A skin ;)

      Israeli Eagles Pt.1: No. 133 Double Tail Squadron
       
      This skin is for Thirdwire's stock F-15A Baz and depicts all 23 aircraft of No. 133 Double Tail Squadron. These aircraft were delivered under Peace Fox I & II, together with two F-15B.
      In May 1981, Moshe Melnik (the first pilot to score a kill in an F-15 and by then in charge of 133 sqn) ordered that all Baz be adorned with individual names on the left side of the forward fuselage.
       
      INSTALLATION:
      Extract the content of the archive and put the Objects folder into your SF2I mod folder.
       
      SOURCES:
      Aloni, Shlomo. Israeli F-15 Eagle Units in Combat. Oxford: Osprey Publishing, 2006.

    12. F-15E Strike Fighter Euro Skin

      By James Fox

      This is my Euro skin made for the F-15E_90. SF2 Series.
       
      I made the skin some time back and I have now updated it to fit on the new SF2 series F-15E_90 Model. I have named the file to a new name so it will not over write the exiting Proto Skin.
       
      This skin is based on my Hasagawa 1/48 model painting guide. This skin is not weathered but in a straight out of the paint hangar finish.
       
      To install just copy and paste the “PROTO A” folder in the “F-15E_90”
      folder and the DECALS FOLDER to the Decals folder and that's it.
       
       
      It you do not like it just delete the “PROTO A" folder and that’s it.
       
       
      Special Thanks to:
       
      Original Model by Flying Toaster
      Additional Model Work by FastCargo
      Flight Model by Fubar512
      Avionics by Moonjumper and JAT
      Effects by Deuces
      Skins by Sundowner
      F-15E Cockpit by Mago
      Drop tanks by FastCargo.
      Loading & Hangar Screens by Kout
       
      Plus to Thirdwire for great games.
       
      Feel free to mod this skin, but must remain freeware please.

      Credit goes to all those that have done an F/A-18 or RAAF skin in the past.

    19. RAAF Super Hornet Skin for SF2 v2.0

      By EricJ

      This is the currrent scheme of the newly acquired Super Hornets by the Royal Australian Air Force. Numbered A44-200 through 224.
       
      Simply copy the folders and place them in the appropriate directories and go fly, for SF2 series only as it has a custom drop tank texture.
       
      And thanks to Wrench for pointing me in the right direction for the numbers...
       
      And thanks to Riley64 for reference photos of the current birds.

    21. Fictional VFA-32 100 years of Naval Aviation F/A-18F scheme

      By EricJ

      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.

    22. VF-31 Last Tour CAG 2006

      By EricJ

      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.

    25. VF-41 F-14A Sukhoi Killers

      By Dave

      F-14A VF-41 Black Aces Skin by Dave
       
      While on deployment in the Mediterranean Sea on August 19, 1981, during a routine combat air patrol mission over the Gulf of Sidra, two Libyan Su-22 “Fitter” aircraft were shot down by Black Aces aircraft. The incident marked the first Navy air combat confrontation since the Vietnam War and the first ever for the F-14A Tomcat. It was the first time a variable wing geometry aircraft shot down another variable wing geometry aircraft. 1981 was also the first year in which the Black Aces won the COMNAVAIRLANT Battle Efficiency "E", signifying them as the most efficient squadron in the Atlantic Fleet. VF-41 was also awarded the Battle “E” in 1985 and 1989.
       
      The 2 Sukhoi killers are in there too.
