Mikoyan-Guryevich-Hawker OKB Falchion F.1 - 5th Fighter Regiment, British Peoples' Republic Air Force, 1951

I don't honestly know for sure but I doubt it.

Fairey Firefly NF.Mk5 - Israeli Air Force, 1948

Yeah, I noticed my SF2 mod was in the SF1 section so I'm going to use the Third Wire MiG-15 and Stary's new pit and upload it to SF2.

So you've come to the WW2 forum to bitch about a third-party product that you're flying in a famously cold-war 'lite' sim. I understand that TK's offered you your money back so why not just accept it with good grace and withdraw to the sidelines?

Soviet Shrike (Thanks Wrench!)

On reflection, you might be right ; )

It's too gruesome a tale for a family site like this...

It was released four years ago and was uploaded by dk1257.

Red 12

Very briefly and from memory - Make them quite big (at least 512 x 512) in the 'main' colour then select that colour and add a border of about 2,3 or 4 pixels (experiment) and fill with your new colour (sometimes I'll do this with a brush with a feathered border). Then I'd normally scale them back down depending on whether they are serial numbers or individual letters and lower the opacity to suit.

Republic Thunderchief FGA.2 - No.33 Squadron, RAF South East Asia Command, 1971 Skin by Daddyairplanes and Centurion.

File Name: [Fictional] Republic Thunderchief S.1 (RAF & RAAF bonus skin) File Submitter: Spinners File Submitted: 04 January 2009 File Category: What If Hangar Republic Thunderchief S.1 for STRIKE FIGHTERS 2 This is a very simple mod of the stock Third Wire F-105D to create a fictional Thunderchief in service with the Royal Air Force in the 1964 to 1973 timeline. In addition, a bonus RAAF 'anti-flash' white skin is included together with an RAF SEAC skin. BACKSTORY At the onset of the fatigue problems suffered by the Vickers Valiant in 1964 it wasn't only the RAF that urgently looked for a quick replacement. With the October 1962 Cuban Missile crisis relatively fresh in their minds, the American administration led by LBJ realised that a quick infusion of European striking power was required and authorised the transfer of a batch of 39 F-105D-25's from US stocks to the RAF and these arrived in December 1964 under "Operation Hastings" (later discovered to be an American jibe at the incoming British Prime Minister Harold Wilson). Entering service with No.207 squadron at RAF Marham in February 1965 the Thunderchief S.1 soon also re-equipped No.49 and No.148 squadrons (also based at RAF Marham) and were initially armed with American Mk28 (B-61) free-fall tactical nuclear bombs before switching to the UK WE.177B in late 1966. Due to their relative short range the Thunderchief S.1's were regularly deployed to RAF Germany until the Victor K.1 tanker force had built up in sufficient numbers. In RAF service the Thunderchief suffered from a high attrition rate and the type was never popular with pilots and began to be supplanted in RAF service by Blackburn Buccaneer S.2's in 1968 with the remaining Thunderchiefs being transferred to RAF South East Asia Command before being retired in 1973. INSTRUCTIONS 1. From the AIRCRAFT folder drag and drop the ThunderchiefS1 folder into your Aircraft folder. 2. From the DECALS folder drag and drop the ThunderchiefS1 folder into your main Decals folder. CREDITS Thanks to Third Wire for the continuous improvement of a great little game/sim. Thanks to Daddyairplanes for the 'Euro 1' skin and also to Centurion for the tweaks to this skin and ludo.m54 for the F-105D templates. And thanks to everyone in the wider Third Wire community.

Pnawn da. I can see that it's a Bagera drawing so it might not be a real design... but I like it! I'll dive into my Secret Projects book and report back. CL-1000 was an FX fighter design study dating back to the late 1960's. A whopping 91 design configurations were studied with TO weights from 24,000lb to 46,000lb and top speeds from M2.3 to M2.7!

I'll post this as a bonus skin within a revised RAF Thunderchief asap.

Fairey Firefly Mk.5 - Royal Dhimari Naval Fleet Air Arm, 1950

That would be great - thank you.

Er, those stripes weren't just for D-day (the Firefly 5 entered service well after WW2).

During the course of the last year? I don't think so. I repeat, that's the timescale posed by the OP.
