@daddyairplanesI noticed YAP-RW released a new F-100F lod dated 5/5/2026, I'm going to play around with it and see if your ANG skins will show properly on it.......thanks to @Wrench looks like I may have opened a can of worms!

make sure you not only inspect the textures for sameness, but the LOD in the LOD viewer. That'll give you the meshes, too.

@daddyairplanesyour ANG skins work with the most recent YAP F-100F lod; dated 5/5/2026. I've updated it with the Hex Editor to allow the skins to be jpg format....thanks @Wrench!

But I couldn't stop there.....

I noticed how the F model had all of the Wild Weasel equipment still so I started tinkering and hiding things through the Data file.

Before hiding the APR-25 bumps, antennas and Receiver:

 

Afterwards:

Nothing fancy but makes these F model Huns look a little less like a Weasel!

truth be told i never thought to do that

I’m doing research to see which antennas I should keep and which ones I should hide. The issue so far I’ve seen is in any given group of F models, they all seem to have different setups regarding their antennas. So I think I’ll have to simply choose one configuration close to all of them and leave it at that.

and you have learned another lesson of modding

theres often so many variations, you just have to pick the most common (or how you want it to be) and roll with it

or, as many of us have done, just say "f-ck it! I'm leaving it as is!!"

I’ve thought about that as well but am using this as a learning experience since I don’t know how to model aircraft from scratch.

I believe I have the F model setup the way I want it now so it's time to start focusing on the D model and tail numbers for both D and F's.

Here's the first of the tail numbers....still need to tweak the skin a bit.

[CSomers611]

Trying to see if anyone might know of any other F-100D/F's of the 125th TFS? I've identified the following:

One's with a * next to the color of Tail Stripe, I have been able to verify the color by pictures. The other Tail Numbers, I've identified by picture but cannot identify the color of tail stripe.

I appreciate any additional information anyone can share.

Think I'm nearly complete with this package....I reached out to YAP-RW regarding the modification I made to their .lod and am awaiting their response.

Uploaded, should be available for download soon.

Update the files to include improved textures from @ravenclaw_007. There's also an update file for those who've already downloaded it and want the improved textures.
