Hawker Hunter F.5 for STRIKE FIGHTERS 2
This is a simple mod of the excellent Third Wire Hunter to give a flyable Hawker Hunter F.5 fighter-bomber with markings for No.1 and No.34 squadrons of the Royal Air Force in the mid-1950's period. Both squadrons were dispatched to Cyprus during the 1956 Suez Crisis and wore yellow and black 'invasion' stripes during that conflict. These stripes are reproduced here as decals so that they can easily be removed or you can move the fuselage stripes aft of the roundel to suit your taste as photographs exist showing both locations.
INSTRUCTIONS
1. Drop the Hunter_F5 folder into your Aircraft folder.
2. Sprinkle the contents of the Decals folder into your main Decals folder.
Do not just move the folder! You must empty the contents in.
N.B. If you haven't got a Decals folder inside your Objects folder then simply move my Decals folder into your Objects folder.
NOTES
This Hunter F.5 is set up, just like the real thing, with just the two inner-wing weapons pylons.
MARKINGS
Both squadrons did actually operate the Hunter F.5 but the markings are slightly 'generic' although the serials are accurate.
CREDITS
BIG THANKS to TK for the continuous improvement of a great little game/sim.
And special thanks to everyone in the wider Third Wire community.
