Redrawn Panel Lines & Rivets for SF1 Era F-86 Sabres and FJ-3 Furies.
 
This is a .psd file at 2048 x 2048 pixels. You MUST have a software program that allows you to modify .psd files, such as Photoshop or GIMP. (There may be other programs out there that deal with .psd files, but I'm not aware of them.)
 
You must also understand how to work with layers.
 
The lines and rivets are drawn in pure black but the opacity can be adjusted to fit your likes.
 
NOTE: This template can be used for skins for the SF2 KAW Sabres/Furies but because of the LOD's the skins are shiny and the lines don't show up well.

Hunter USAF 'What-If' SEA and Grey SF2 Skins.
