I'ld thank everyone has posted here for his interest. A special thank, as usual, to Soulfreak, who helped and supported me everytime and everyway. I'm just a beginner and I never could make hundreds of different LSK skins (...), but I'll do the best I can with this little mod (Mig-21M). Everyone, who could do better than me, will be invited to upgrade it, because, I think, we share our passion for old jets .... and so our works. "Migs forever", too. Paolo

I have some LSK Insignas in the decal sheet You send ... but I don't like very much panting them on the planes. (Numbers never at all ...) In fact, I think that our sim' decals system is the best. I'll try it. Paul

The model I used is the stock SF-2 Mig-21MF (modded to Mig-21M). Thanks. Paul

Calling for Soulfreak .... .... Souli watch those birds ........ and tell me somethig about ...... Could You read the stencils You sent to me ? The skins are now 2048x2048 .... so You'll be able almost to read them ! If You have something else, please send. Maybe a new (better) picture of Russian stencils for VVs use :yes: . Yours Paulopanz

Thank you, Sir. Now I'm working with some stencils Soulfreak sent to me yesterday ..... Paolo :yes:

hey Paulo, if you need more references on LSK MiG-21´s let me know. I have a lot and will get in the next days some more! btw, nice work... Everything will be welcome. I like Migs. Thank you Souli Paolo My friends and me had Mig-21MA and Mig-21R as WIPs. But they are grounded for this time. Czechoslovak MA (removed periscope, cannon deflectors too) MA is M version just with added "A". Later updated to MF standard (both versions were WIPs) Mig-21R without cannon and deflectors... Old projects, but no progress as I said. Our MA was planned as Czechoslovak MA, so no colision with your M I think. Good luck Migs forever Migs forever, too. I only made some decals for a generic silver CVL skin, that should be a placeholder waiting your Czech dedicated mod. Thanks. Paul

You are too kind with me, man. Paolo :yes:

File Name: MiG-23 MS Lybian Camo File Submitter: paulopanz File Submitted: 16 Jun 2009 File Category: Mig-23 Flogger Skins This a first TW's Mig-23 skin done on new Mig-23 templates, made by me using new SF-2 EU grey skins (thanks TK..). Muammar Gheddafi was in Rome last days .... You can use in Woi or in SF-2 with Arabic3black numbers from Woi put in decals folder. To install: put everything in Mig-23MS folder and fly.

Maybe it's brand new .... just arrived from URSS flyng throught Italy, whith several couples of F-104s that have followed it from Alpes to Sicily (this is history! It happened several times when I was in Grosseto AB for my military duty at 4° Stormo) without the time for gaing the authorization to shot it down *. No, ....... really ............ I'm not able in wheatering ...... yet. So, if someone (Who said SoulfreaK?) would like to wheater it (like all my previous works) I'll very proud of it. Ciao e grazie. Paolo :yes: * For Italian people: Gli aerei libici transitavano sui nostri cieli attraversando la penisola da nord a sud sia da che per l'URSS, cioè sia quando venivano acquistati, sia quando necessitavano di interventi di aggiornamento in fabbrica. Di regola seguivano, entrando nel nostro spazio aereo, la scia di altri aerei passeggeri, confondendo così la loro traccia radar con quella degli aerei civili. Avevano comunque calcolato i tempi: le procedure per l'ordine di attacco duravano più del volo di attraversamento Certe volte i nostri piloti perdevano la testa, quasi arrivavano a lanciare i missili e le conversazioni con il controllo a terra erano drammatiche. Secondo alcuni ufficiali e sottufficiali dell'A.M.I., che ho conosciuto, il Mig-23 caduto sulla Sila sarebbe stato abbattuto in una di queste circostanze.

You are right: If you set the mission timeline after 1977 You will have the solid green roundel. Before they had the arab insigna like in the screenshot and in the picture included in the pack. Let's try. This time I used only stock decals .... Thanks. Paul

Sir, the cockpit upgrades are very good (as usual for Your works), but for the Mig-15bis you missed to do this: [RangeCounter] Type=RANGE_INDICATOR CounterNodeFormat=distance_dig%Remd <--------- change this to: distance_dig%d MovementType=ANALOG_COUNTER ValueUnit=NM Like I and Suhsjake discovered upgrading to SF-2 standard old Pasko's Mig-15bis models (see topic). Paolo

Do you haven't WOI, too? Paul

Your skins are so nice that I installed (with some troubles) Ericgen's Super Mystere in SF-2 EU ..... So I was wondering about their possible conversion on TW stock Super Mystere, that it's a very good model, too, but as Mysteres, Mirages, F-84s and F-104s AI planes (but flyables in a snap ..) are all whitout decals, except insignas ...... What do you think about that? The templates are here at Combat Ace ... Paolo

Hi there, I'm working on a 1964 campaign with historical orders of battles. Why 1964? Because it was a transition year from old jets to new F-104G and MiG-21F. Now with outstanding Veltro's F-102A the plane list is full up! I plan to include: USAF,RAF,LUFWAFFE, FRENCH, DUTCH and DANISH air forces from the NATO side, and VVS, LSK, POLISH, CZECHOSLOVAKIAN air forces on the other side. You'll fly every squadron from every side. The work is going on well, but I lack some data, and I ask it to you all to help me. I need good, detailed orders of battle of these nations' airforces: -FRANCE -POLAND -CZECHOSLOVAKIA If you could send those data, I'll be able to finish my campaign. Come on French, Polish and Czech (and sure all others in the world ....) friends, help me! Thank you all. Ciao Paolo

Do you like some pics ? CVL Mig-15bis 30. Sbolp PWL IL-28R 21 PRT PWL Mig-15bis / Lim-2 Paul :yes:

Yes, please do it. I only made some silver skins (DDR, CZ, PL, NVIET, CHINA,HUNGARY, SOVIET) and new decal numbers for the stock new SPF-2 Mig-17PF, that fly very well with your cockpit made for the old mod. Now we lack only a true Mig-19P/PM .... Paul

Well I think to upgrade my upcomong campaign to SF-2 Standard. These are my reasons. What You think about that? Paul :yes:

I could say only few things now, but: 1. Super Mysteres, Mysteres, Mirages and F-84F F-104s are very good and made flyable in a snap, but they haven't decals .... 2. Mig-21bis has new, own .lod files 3. Mig-21MF etc. have several brand new grey/camo skins for Czch, Poland and DDR 4. Mig-23 line is quite full of variants, with new grey(!!)/camo skins Paul

File Name: IAF Mig-21M(F) Type-88 Camo "Battle Axes" File Submitter: paulopanz File Submitted: 28 May 2009 File Category: Mig-21 Fishbed Skins IAF Mig -21MF 7° Sq. “Battle Axes” The IAF called Mig-21M or Type 88 a model virtually identical to Mig-21MF, that was produced at HAL (158 planes were built). It served from 1973 in these squadrons: 7° Sq. “Battle Axes” at Gwalior; 9° Sq. “Wolfpack” at Hindon, Haryana; 17° Sq. “Golden Arrow” at Bhatinda, Punjab; 35 °Sq. “Rapiers” at Bakshi Ka Talab, Uttar Pradesh; 37° Sq. “Black Panthers”; 51° Sq. “Sword Arms” at Jamnagar; 52° Sq. “Sharks”; 72° Sq. ; 101° Sq. “Falcons” at Sirsa Haryana; 108° Sq. “Hawkeyes” at Bakshi Ka Talab. Known serial numbers and Battle Axes Squadron Badges are icluded. I took this camouflage from Americo Maia’s works. If you have some good picture schemes of other squadrons, please send to me, and I’ll try to skin. Yours Paulopanz To install: This skin is for SFP2. So simply put the files included in this pack in SFP2 folder. For SFP1/WoX install, you have to change decals settings, but it should works. Click here to download this file

Happy to meet you. Well, this really true for the Mig-21Ms from Soviet factory, that Indians called "Mig-21MFs". The Russian's "Migs for the monkeys" (socialism was an only utopia...) whith older engines and avionics. But the HAL Bangalore build their "Mig-21M", that Indians in fact simply called "Mig-21M", or type 88, that had the "more powerful R13-300 engine, better RP-22 radar, periscope on the canopy and baffle plates below the auxiliary inlet doors" and "was virtually identical to the Mig-21MF (izdeliye 96F) and was of a superior specification to the Mig-21M (izdeliye 96) " The words are not mine, they come from Yefim Gordon's Mig-21 bible (pag. 593). I'm a Mig lover ... So we can say that IAF Mig-21MF were Mig-21M and IAF Mig-21M were Mig-21MF There was a little confusion beyond the iron curtain .... I'm testing a "downgraded" "real" Mig-21M with LSK, PWL,YUGO and IAF skins and numbers already done. I only couldn't delete periscope from inside the canopy. Someone could help me? Thank you all for your interest. Paul

File Name: MIG-21F LSK/NVA Camo File Submitter: paulopanz File Submitted: 18 May 2009 File Updated: 26 May 2009 File Category: Mig-21 Fishbed Skins Mig-21F LSK/NVA Camo When in the ’80 the older Mig-21F were retired from fighter units (JG-3; JG-8 and later JG-9) they served in AFS-31, TAFS-47, TAFS-48 as tactical recon planes and in JAG-15, FAG-15 for trainig. So the original silver skins were left and the aircrafts went camo. I made this skin (1024x1024) using my own, home made, templates, the decal numbers (included) are the same, historical of my previous LSK Silver Skin (a little below here at Combat.Ace). I hope you like it. I’ld thank my friend Herr Carlo “Souli” Vecchi for his constant help, effort and, as usual, for the original numbers fonts, too. Upgrade 1.1 At last I found probe, antennas etc. and now are silver painted. Numbers little shifted. New patch file. Numbers meet serials (copy new numbers file in LSK Silver Skin if you like ..). So try 645 for the “Q” mark. Yours. Paulopanz :dirol: P.S. To Install in SFP1/2; WOV/E/I simply put the decals in decals folder and LSKCamo1 in your Mig-21F folder. That’s all.

I'm glad you like it. The Mig-21F camo pictures are rare, except East Germany AF, so if you have a good paintscheme, please send it to me, and I'll try to skin. Paolo
