Coyote Posted January 30, 2003 Posted January 30, 2003 Just thought I would post a couple of screens of some of my new Phantoms available friday..five in all.. British Royal Navy 767th Squadron Vf-114 "Aardvarks"
+ST0RM Posted January 30, 2003 Posted January 30, 2003 I'm diggin' that Fightin' Aardvarks skin. Storm
+BUFF Posted January 30, 2003 Posted January 30, 2003 Don't mean to be churlish but Ive never seen an RN bird in cammo & 767 was a training squadron.
Coyote Posted January 31, 2003 Author Posted January 31, 2003 Thats ok Buff, like I said in my skinning tutorial research is my first step. I did find the picture you have posted, but I went further then the first thing I found...I dug further and found that the 767 not only trained pilots for the RN but also the RAF. The RAF used this camo scheme. They also used the Navy Blue, since like I pointed out above they trained pilots from both services...heres the picture I chose to do the skin from...
Cylix=JW= Posted January 31, 2003 Posted January 31, 2003 Nice Vf-114 "Aardvarks" skin and RAF coyote! Ill be grabing them as soon as there up, like all the rest of your skins(well.. most of them) :D
+BUFF Posted January 31, 2003 Posted January 31, 2003 Hi Coyote, Thanks for the reply & I've looked into it a bit further. I'll give you the win :) Found a page (decal sheet) that I think that you got that from. However, I also found (& I think more likely) that some of 767 squadron's F-4's were delivered in cammo not because they trained RAF pilots (the RAF had 228 OCU) but because those aircraft were already earmarked to go to the RAF (43 & 111 squadrons - my "local" ones) due to the Fleet Air Arms unexpectedly rapid draw down. Of course, historically the F-4K was incompatible with the SUU-16/A and SUU-23/A gun pods which could prove a problem in SF :shock: Now, if someone can just do an .ini to greatly reduce the amount of smoke & the changed engine performance of a Spey compared to a J79. While I'm at it I might as well wish for someone to remodel the intakes, exhaust & nose to make it a proper F-4K...... :!: Tailnote: that particular aircraft was scrapped at Leuchars in '91 or '92
