Working on F-16A/B Block 15's of the 35th and 80th Tactical Fighter Squadrons, 8th Tactical Fighter Wing Kunsan AB, Republic of Korea during 1986. I'm still working on the tail numbers and tweaking the markings. During the 1985/1986 time frame, the 8th TFW changed the wolf head design and location. It was during this time it started to be moved from the fuselage near the canopy to the vertical stab; where it's still located today. F-16A Block 15 35th TFS, 8th TFW F-16A Block 15 80th TFS, 8th TFW F-16B Block 15 35th TFS, 8th TFW F-16A Block 15 80th TFS, 8th TFW

Well, after @daddyairplanes pointed out there was a Block 15 Viper available, I realized he was correct! So I just made more work for myself by using the Thirdwire F-16A model....ah well, practice makes perfect! So I have since started moving everything over to the Team Viper F-16's and I think this mistake of mine might have been for the better. F-16A Block 10 of the 35th and 80th TFS. F-16A Block 15 of the 35th and 80th TFS. F-16B Block 15 of the 35th and 80th TFS. These are no where near done, still tweaking the textures and decals however progress, even though sometimes backwards is being made!

I plan on it when I get everything done. Still tweaking and researching.

Tweaked the wolf's head on the Block 15 A models, ignore the tail number in this shot as it's not the correct # for a Block 15.

Here's the most recent changes on the Block 10 35th and 80th TFS skins. I've added the old school wolf head, which I like. I'm sill working on verifying tail numbers for both the Block 10 and 15's of the 8th TFW, and tweaking the wolf head on the Block 15's.

Here's some Block 10's of the 35th TFS, 8th TFW on the way to provide some CAS.

Got it figured out, somehow the aircraft folder I had made got corrupted. It's fixed now, still tweaking the skins a bit.

These are skins I'm working on currently of the 8th TFW for the F-16A/B Block 15 using the stock F-16. I must be missing a file or something because I still can't get the pylon figured out. It's there with the fuel tanks but missing when I carry bombs on the station.

Checking out some of my work and noticed I'm apparently missing some files.....anyone know what I'm missing?

Talk about, "ask and you shall receive"! I was mainly asking about airbases though more bases all together is a win. Definitely looking forward to more target areas, would love more missions on this using this terrain. Great work, thanks for it.

I didn't know you had updated it till you replied here and went and downloaded it. Looking forward to you making more target areas, do you plan on making more bases?

.... Thanks for pointing out the grey and the rescue marks. I've made a few changes using your suggestions.

Thanks, yep that's one of the markings I was needing to tweak still. I'll take a look at the folder you mentioned. I think after the 8th, I will look into the 35th....slowly start covering PACAF units.

View File A-10A 25th TFS 1986 (16) A-10A's of the 25th Tactical Fighter Squadron, 51st Tactical Fighter Wing Suwon AB, Republic of Korea 1986.

I've been working/tweaking Centurion-1's Korea 1985 campaign here lately, trying to focus on a "what-if" campaign taking place in 1985-1987 timeframe. With this in mind, I'm having to create some skins for aircraft which would have been involved. Currently focusing on the 25th Tactical Fighter Squadron, 51st Tactical Fighter Wing which operated the A-10A from Suwon AB, ROK starting in 1982 till November 1989. This skin is for the A-10A and C package from Spectre8750, I'm currently tweaking it a bit more and then plan to release it. Question, would the Squadron patch in 1984-1989 been the design like what I used or the modern shape?

Thank you, I appreciate this.

Was wondering if there was any more being done for this terrain? I love flying it.

Thanks for the tip and the suggestion on the Wing and Squadron patch sizes. Will tweak them again soon!

I've reworked the skin a bit, put the Squadron and Wing patches on the skin instead of using decals. Redid the tail codes, enlarged tail letters and redid the PACAF patch. I'm in the process of doing the tail and nose numbers.

Thank you, this has assisted me with identifying at least (12) A-10A’s of the 25th TFS at Suwon AB.

What book is that for reference? I used "Colors and Markings of the A-10 Warthog" and have found some pictures on the web which have help. Here's one June 11, 1986, on approach to Suwon, which is what I was going to base my skins off of. Still need to tweak them a bit. Also need to try and id about a dozen or so tail numbers.

I have found pictures of (2) 79 birds with the 35th TFS, they were 79-397 and 79-398. So far, I've identified (24) A's and (1) B for the 35th TFS and (16) A's and (1) B for the 80th TFS.

Yep, I will tweak the tail numbers tomorrow after I finish digging through F-16.net and the information you said you’d send. I also plan on tweaking the loadouts to that of Block 15’s at some point.
