122nd TFS 159th TFG Coonass Militia F-4C Skins coming!

[Bananimal]

Hey peeps,

 

I finally registered with the site so that I could share with you guys some of the things I've been working on for SF.

 

Here are some screenshots of the once contraversial Louisiana Air National Guard Coonass Militia skins that I'm working on. I've only got a little more to do on number 637, mostly weathering and texture alignment and I'll be modifying the skin for number 522 to reflect more accurately the colors used on these aircraft. The Skins themselves are true representations of these aircraft. I'd purchased a Hasegawa F-4C to build and realized that I had the decal templates for them so I proceeded to start skinning them for SF.

 

The one off blue camo schemes used on these aircraft were very short lived. They were painted in this scheme when the squadron was attending FWS in Nevada. Rumor has it that a black officer was offended by the name of the squadron painted on the tail of the aircraft and complained to higher ups. The powers that be who didn't understand what a Coonass actually was made the squadron change it's name to Bayou Militia.

 

For those that don't know, a Coonass is a native Louisianian of French descent. They consist of the original settlers of the Bayou areas of the state and their extended families on the male side. You can call them Cajuns as well. Both are the same. I know this because I'm a Boudreaux and am considered a true Coonass of the state of Louisiana. And I'm proud as hell of it too!

 

I hope you enjoy these screenies of the progress. Let me know what you guys think.

Fantastic! F-4C skins are very rare. Btw, where did you got that nice Sidewinder skin from?

I was born in Louisiana and I must say its nice to see a coonass online. Especially when it's a "C" model. Great skin! I will be downloading this one when its available.

I was planning on releasing them in packs of 4 aircraft each. If you guys would rather them seperately let me know and I'll go ahead and push the ones that are completed up. That would be # 841 and # 704 (Mig Killer) in the pictures above.
