            Mud Hen in Camo: A what if Skin 
    Shortly after the deployment of the F-15E to the 48th FW at RAF Lakenheath, the CO directed the Strike Eagles to be repainted from the Gunship Grey they were delivered in to 
a camouflage pattern similar to the recently departed F-111F Aardvarks. A move that potentially save the Colonel's career was to paint the first one as the commanders aircraft of the 3rd Air Force. This led that General to fight for the paint scheme, but Headquarters Air Force finally directed them to cease with the repaints. Still the first dozen aircraft delivered to the 494th Fighter Squadron maintained the SEA jungle theme until the last one went through depot shortly after Operation Allied Force. The 3rd AF marked jet even conducted a few missions over Serbia in March of '99.
    This mod carries over a camouflage scheme done as a one off. to make the alternate history and the modding easier, it utilizes the same numbers and decals as the historically accurate Liberty Wing '95 494th skin.

            Included
1 skin for F-15E_92 aircraft

thats it. no model, no decals, no effects sounds or weapons

            Required
because of the back story, this mod is set up as a companion to my Liberty Wing 95 mod. The skin in fact utilizes the decals, numbers and decal.ini of the 
494th FS skin in that mod, but with a different skin of course. You can get the needed mod here if you don't already have it


i hope you enjoy this mod as much as i enjoyed making it

Any chance of making this skin and the one in homage to the F-111 for that other F-15E available ("Tweaked by Stick & Viper63a 2016")?
That one, in my opinion, has better and more correct .lods, and it would look really cool with your work too!

was there another one Im not aware of? the models for both were taken from that 2016 pack, although the aircraft in the Liberty Wing 95 were ini adjusted somewhat to reflect the different engines (named F-15E_92)

the tribute bird was straight up pulled from the F-15E_14 in that pack

They have a better .LOD IMHO, you can notice looking the canopy...

ok gotcha

it is a nicer model and im liking the base skin

but Karma 52 and the SEA skin were side quests for the summer, my main focus is on Hogs and post Vietnam FACs (O-2s, USAF OV-10s and OA-37Bs). i got them knocked out pretty quick by having my own tweaks on the template for the 2016 pack, and by making the what if skin use historically accurate decals from another one of my packs. as i joked in the WIP thread, i even recycled the title screen shot for that release 

but i am intrigued, and might revisit the old packs i did with the new model.

just keep in mind, its going on a list about 100 projects long....

Take all the time you need, it was just a suggestion that could yield good results in the future, due to the excellent work you provide to all of us. I am immensely grateful for your dedication, and that of everyone else who donates their time and work for everyone's enjoyment.
