Sundowner's EF-4C Phantom II, Wild Weasel IV
this mod represents the F-4Cs that were modified to perform the Wild Weasel mission in the very early 1970s as they flew
over Vietnam, then after Vietnam and into the beginning of the 1980s with the Indiana Air National Guard
            Included
Three complete aircraft highlighting the Vietnam, post Nam and Indiana Air Guard era's of this aircrafts career

            Credits
Sundowner            2 new EF-4C model with all relevant parts built in, new F-4_MER rack
daddyairplanes            research, new skins and decals. ini edits
unknown author            who did the original 67th TFS decals. i used roughly half of them, but neither
                Sundowner nor Wrench can recall who's they originally were
cSomers611, nightshadeP/R     test team

a special thanks to Nyghtfall: my original request was for a new fakepilot model similar to the original mod
Nyghtfall came through in spades with a beautiful fake pilot model. The same day he sent that to me however,
Sundowner sent a full up model with all parts including the permanent strike cam in the Sparrow bay. While I
went with Sundowners approach instead, i still highly appreciate Nyghtfall taking the time to assist my original
request.
        Instructions
unzip, unload contents of "2 Mod folder" into mod folder of your choice.

New model of F-86D as used by far East Asian countries. The set includes the Republic of China Air Force, South Korea Air Force, and the Philippine Air Force.
Do not overwrite any old files that you might downloaded here in CA. Make a backup of old files or rename new ones. But definitely do not mix any files of the old F-86 with this new one.
In the game, you will find it under the prefix * F-86D Sabre Dog
I fixed data files a little - collision points and hitboxes..as the previous ones were quite weird. However, I believe that the flight model could be improved for this aircraft. But this is not my cup of tea or coffee. 
All skins are in 4096x4096 format. You can easily resize as needed.
Decals represent historically correct serial numbers assigned to aircraft during their service in a particular year. Or I believe it does.
 
Credits.
The model is new but some parts are based on Zur's F-86H which I was able to work on previously with Wrench.
Yours truly  -  model rework, mambo jumbo like skins, decals, research...
Weapons Mk4 Might Mouse and AIM-9 by Ravenclaw. 
 
Have fun.
Report bugs. *
Expect the unexpected.
Live long and prosper.
