Nice to see this aircraft getting some TLC

Thank you all for your kind comments!

@ Coupi Nice new Nammer

Only teasing! And your green bird is better than mine.

BTW Ignore the 'CV' serials which are simply a hangover from it being based on the Convair 201.

Valmet Kotka - HävLLv 31, Ilmavoimat, 1982 For many years Finland had cast envious eyes at Sweden's ability to produce indigenous weapons systems that were comparable to anything produced anywhere and, in particular, Sweden's ability to produce combat aircraft that met their unique defensive requirements. Indeed, they were so impressed with the Draken's ability to take off from a short section of 'motorväg', make an automatic all-weather interception at Mach 2 and then vanish back into the Swedish landscape that they eagerly negotiated with the Swedish government to not only purchase the Draken but to also licence-produce it using Valmet (their state-owned heavy industry company). Valmet had already cut their teeth with licence-production of the Fouga Magister and the indigenously designed aircraft Vihuri and Vinka training aircraft and during the early 1970's the Valmet drawing office were sketching out a proposed Draken replacement clearly influenced by the contemporary Saab Viggen but generally scaled-down to fit a single afterburning Rolls-Royce Spey turbofan. Given the project name of Kotka 80, by early 1973 the design was showing sufficient promise for Valmet to be given a contract order for 60 single-seat Kotka (Eagle) multi-role fighters and 12 Kotka two-seat trainers with a planned in-service date of 1980. Design and development moved smoothly and the Kotka entered service in 1981 when Hävittäjälentolaivue 31 (Fighter Squadron 31) converted from the MiG-21.

Ah! The 'GT' of the Canberra series...

For the F.6 you need to remove the brake chute housing.

Are stock aircraft OK?

I'm at work right now but this will be my 'Target for Tonight'! Thanks.

North American J36B - F21 (Aggressor Squadron), 1978

Fins are well into the fuselage.

N.B. The RB04 missile is shown here but is just a bit too big for the Hun!

Well it's not for release but those points are nice to know. Cheers!

Thank you. I'm loving the F-100D at the moment and Henrik's templates make it so much easier to produce new schemes for it.

North American J36A - F13, 1965 North American J36B - F21, 1974

The failure of the Supermarine Swift and development delays in the English Electric P.1B programme led to an unexpected UK order for the supersonic North American Super Sabre which was eagerly received by an ailing Royal Air Force. The first of 80 F-100K's (service designation: Shark F.1) was received in 1957 and the first squadron to re-equip was No.56 squadron who two years earlier had endured the heartache of operating the Swift F.1 and were soon to encounter teething difficulties with the Shark F.1...

Kracking Kiwis!

I'm not saying it's the only way but it will work!

Perhaps we're all too polite to point out an obvious and unintentional mistake....

View File North American Shark FGA.2 (F-100D) North American Shark FGA.2 for STRIKE FIGHTERS 2 This is a very simple mod of the stock Third Wire F-100D to give a fictional North American Shark FGA.2 (I guess the RAF didn't fancy the 'Super Sabre' name) with markings for; No.1 Squadron in standard RAF Camo with three-colour national markings. No.54 Squadron in standard RAF Camo with three-colour national markings. INSTRUCTIONS 1. From the AIRCRAFT folder drag and drop the SharkFGA2 folder into your main Aircraft folder. 2. From the DECALS folder drag and drop the SharkFGA2 folder into your main Decals folder. 3. From the WEAPONS folder drag and drop the two 'AS' missiles into your Weapons folder. That's it! CREDITS Thanks to Third Wire for a great little game/sim. Thanks to hgbn (Henrik) for uploading his superb F-100D templates to the community. And thanks to everyone in the wider Third Wire community.
