  2. Well, clouds are tga's (transparancies) so I don't think so but it would be cool.
  3. In the SF1 downloads section. You'll need to folderise the 'add-on' parts and place them in the Pilots folder.
  4. Great to see it with it's home nation markings - well done!
  5. Grumman/Atlas F-21C Cheetah - VMFA-451, USMC, 1996
  6. Grumman/Valmet F-29F - HävLLv 31, Ilmavoimat, 2006
  7. Grumman F-29C Polecat - 124th Fighter Squadron, 132nd Fighter Wing, Iowa ANG, 2006 Dels' sweet F-29 with a 'Lizard Splinter' skin and some new 124FS decals.
  8. Very good Vampyre! It's a ton of fun and a great mud mover.
  9. I'm having a play with the F-29A 'Polecat' (which actually comes with a good USAF skin) but thinking of something for export...
  10. Grumman F-29A Polecat - 4th TFS, 388th TFW, USAF, 2004 (Chapeau to Dels for creating this one)
  11. 40962 is overkill especially for aircraft requiring four or five bitmaps and Third Wire do just fine with 10242. There are some excellent skins out there using just one 20482 bitmap e.g. Julhelm's delightful Convair 201 or Dels' excellent F-23A 'Black Widow'. For an F-5A sized aircraft I'd go for 20482. Great project BTW!!!
  12. PZL-230F 'Skorpion' - Ukrainian Air Force, 2010
  13. Thanks mate. The Parani one uses one of the original skins with my decals whilst the Moldovan 'Lizaard Splinter' one is by me created using the very nice Skorpion template from the SF1 downloads section.
  14. PZL-230F 'Skorpion' - Moldovan Air Force, 2009
  15. All working fine here. I must be doing something wrong...
  16. Started in the mid-1980's the PZL-230 'Skorpion Projekt' was an ambitious attempt to provide the Polish Air Force with an affordable modern attack aircraft but in 1990 the Polish Air Force cranked in further requirements for speed, range and payload leading to a heavier and ultimately more expensive aircraft. By 1991 Poland was enduring a difficult transition from a communist to a capitalist economy and the project appeared to be heading for cancellation but the management team at PZL Okęcie were convinced that a sizeable market existed for the 'Skorpion Projekt' and actively sought a partner to develop their design eventually approaching several aerospace companies in Europe, the US and former USSR but to no avail. However, in January 1992 representatives from the state-owned Parani Aviation Company (PAC - who had developed the indigenous Piranha jet fighter in the late 1950's) contacted PZL to propose a collaboration to develop and produce the Skorpion for their respective air forces and for export. At an early stage it was agreed to have two assembly lines with PZL to be responsible for all Polish orders and subsequent European exports and PAC to be responsible for all Parani orders and all exports outside of Europe. It is understood that Paran agreed to accept a higher split on development costs because of the wider export market open to them. With heavy financial backing from oil-rich Paran the design and development moved quickly and the prototype Skorpion took to the skies in October 1995 and was soon joined by the first of a pre-production batch of 8 Skorpions eventually forming a bi-service development squadron based in Paran and taking advantage of the clear skies over the Parani desert. Paran claimed priority for deliveries and formed the first Skorpion squadron in 1998 with Poland deferring deliveries for their own air force until 2001 due to financial pressures but by this time the Skorpion had become a modest export success with PZL securing exports to many of the former Soviet Union client states but with PAC only exporting a few Skorpions to Syria.

  17. Never understood why it's not a stock Third Wire weapon.

  19. Charging skywards...
  20. Cool Kevin, cool.
  21. Great minds think alike or, perhaps, twisted minds think alike! I'm finished for the night now but I'll reshape the fin flash tomorrow and get No.11 squadron done too.

  23. Excellent! **********************************************************************************************************************************
