SF2 F-86F Sabre, 461st FDS, USAFE Skin Pack


SF2 F-86F Sabre, 461st FDS, USAFE Skin Pack       11/27/2024

-For SF2, Any and All (Full Merged Recommended)

This is a NEW (well, rebuilt) skin for the F-86F-40 Sabre. It is designed to be used on the SF2 F-86F-40 pack available here at CA. As this unit served in Europe (USAFE), it's recommended for a SF2:E installed Sabre.

This set represents the 461st Fighter Day Squadron in approx 1956, when they use the "Euro Camo" (dark green/dark gray uppers, PRU blue unders). This skin will replace any earlier versions, as a small glitch at the aft wing root has finally been fixed and repainted. You get 24 historically accurate decals. Meaning: those marked with a star (*) have been postively ID'd as have been used by the 461st. All the others, marked with the cross/plus sign (+), while having served in the 36th Fighter Day Wing, could not associated with a particular squadron. The skin is in jpg format, and decal randomization is TRUE. The SF2 date switch is NOT used. A new skin specific Hangar Screen is also included. As the 461st is a 'stock' squadron, the squadron displayed name is activated via my (patent pending) fake SqTail decal.

On the skin selection menu, on the Loadout Page, you'll see:

461st FDS, 36th FDW USAFE (Camo)

As is always recommended, unzip to a temp folder or your desktop to give easy access to the rest of this readme for it's install instructions. 


Happy Landings!

Huh, I always thought that Sabres were all metal. I mean I've seen mainly those, so that's interesting to see these.

I used a more OD color; the image is more green, and I believe closer to what they actually used.  IRL, it was only used for less than a year.

It's nice to see a REAL one that still is flying around!!!

If I´m not wrong, it is an ex Luftwaffe Canadair CL-13B Sabre Mk.6
