File Name: PAF AT-28D "Tora Tora" 1985 File Submitter: ChampionsVA56 File Submitted: 16 Feb 2010 File Category: Multi Engined Bomber, Transport, Light Attack and Trainer Skins Another skin for the Skunkworks T-28D COIN which can be found in their Third Party section. The Philippine Air Force, battle tested in counter-insurgency operations selected the Nomad and received 60 in the 1970's as a light attack and COIN aircraft. It was assigned to the 17th Attack Squadron of the 15th Strike Wing based in Sangley Air Base in Cavite. They continued on to serve the PAF until they finally retired in late 1992.

Been working on a major upgrade for the "beta minus" F7U-3M Cutlass for SF2. I've got it up to the...well...beta ++ stage(flight model,authentic skins for each squadron,new cockpit,etc) but badly need someone to make a 3D model for the belly rocket pod (carried 32 Mighty Mouse FFAR's) in an optional pack. A fairly simple model (box like) structure with a tapered front. I can supply all the needed photos and drawings. Anyone out there in 3D modeling land interested??? Of course full credit will be given....CHAMP

Everything is done and tested. Just waiting for the 3D model for the belly rocket pack and a new tailhook. Here's my favorite skin...VC-3 out of NAS Moffet Field,CA in 1955.

Skins for the F7U-3 version are also done. Here is a few to look at. Should have this mod out shortly...CHAMP

Ya Know...I might just make a "super skin pack" for this one....just like the Skyray. Both of these were such cool aircraft and so....well..."Fifties"!! Anyone out there with modeling skills want to make a small belly rocket pack for this plane?Would be added as a "fake pilot" weapon.

OH BOY!! This is an awesome improvement..been waiting for this one....and templates too!! Say...does the Wrench also have any F-89 Scorpion Templates?? Thanks..Champ

Hey Wrench....ever notice the drop tanks seem a bit over-sized on this bird?? Is there an easy tweek for this or does the 3D model for the tank need need to be overhauled?? Then again...maybe my brain is shrinking from age...the tanks just look big... and I need to be overhauled ..CHAMP
