F-4J Linebacker MiG Killers

F-4J Linebacker MiG Killers


Three skins for ThirdWire's original F-4J from SF2V, showing them as they were painted during the SEA Linebacker campaign in 1972. These are:

 

VF-31 Tomcatters

VF-92 Silverkings

VF-114 Aardvarks

 

Original real life Bu. No. from that cruise are included. The MiG Killers among them are:

 

BuNo 7249 NH206, VF-114, crew Robert Hughes and Adolph Cruz

BuNo 7245 NH201, VF-114, crew Kenneth Pettigrew and Michael McCabe

BuNo 7269 NG211, VF-92, crew Curtis Dose and James McDevitt

BuNo 7307 AC106, VF-31, crew Samuel Flynn and William John

 

These skins are heavily based on those Ravenclaw_007 did for WoV, e.g.

which were again based on Sundowner's famous hi-res template, e.g.

Thus big kudos to them!

 

I just took pieces from both, cleaned them up and made my own templates, modified them and added all bits to fit the mapping of the new meshes from SF2V. Made new decals… et voilà.

Textures are 1024*1024 size.

Thank you.

Anyhow... aren't F-4s after all always navy, even when they wear the air force camouflage? :grin:
