P-39Q my hints were...Bell Aircobra....Bell Cobra will go easy on you...

ok. I got it, but do not have an image for the next ID...so I will pass... but what you see in the picture above is all connected... in a way...

View File Vietnam Air War - Hercules C-130 Hercules and its variants in Vietnam. This mod offers my personal approach to the Hercules role in the Vietnam War. It is not intended to replace or compete with other packs. I recommend testing it before removing any older mods, as you may prefer one over the other. Basic modding skills are required to run this mod. (copy/paste, mod folder structure, etc.) Install: Copy and paste specific folders into the correct destination. Mod represents units that were involved in combat in Vietnam. You need the fake pilot mod in your pilots folder to make it work properly. The pack contains a few aircraft with quite simple ini files. There are no specific avionics and cockpit files. All is like in the original C-130 pack. Data.ini files call for some specific equipment, weapons etc. I have edited overgrown hit boxes...and some small things. New skins with adjusted colors for the SEA scheme to match most of the common mods and my 'Vietnam era mods'. Some of you might remember that years back, I made a fake model covering the special mission Hercules used in the Vietnam War. All was covered by fake pilot mods. After a while, lucky us, Dels was kind enough to accept my offer, and he merged my fake pilot 3d mods into his C-130 series. Resulting in nice DC, HC variants. This pack contains aircraft that are focused on the Vietnam War involvement, so it differs in many ways from what Dels uploaded in his latest update. In this pack, among some small stuff, I fixed C-130E-I. Also, DC-130A and E have corrected weapon stations to carry drone variants as it was in real. C-130A First and most common Hercules used in Vietnam. Comes with three skin sets, early 'silver scheme'. SEA scheme covering USAF transport units operating in Vietnam and finally the South Vietnamese Air Force of 53rd Tactical Wing. covering 435th and 437th Transport squadrons. All serial numbers are historically correct for specific units. C-130B Upgraded variant of Hercules, mostly used by the 463rd Tactical Airlift Wing as represented in this mod. KC-130F USMC Hercules - transport and tanker aircraft with all known serials that were part of MAG-15. C-130E-I Specialized version of C-130E modified by the Big Safari program, with the Fulton recovery system and some specialized equipment, which became the first of the Combat Talon aircraft series. DC-130A and DC-130E Drone carrier and control aircraft. Based on C-130 A and E variant. At some point, A variant receieved four blade propelers, but not in this mod. HC-130P Combat Shadow Special mission aircraft designed for search, rescue, and recovery missions, supporting rescue helicopters in a tanker role. AC-130A Gunship aircraft in its second variant Pave Pronto/Surprise Package. as a additonal aircraft, I have added C-130B-II modified by Big Safari C-130B aircraft for SIGINT mission. Few aircraft operated on Vietnam skies in that role for some time. I added all serial numbers for B-II, but not all were visiting Vietnam. I have confirmed a few that are marked by a dot in numbers.lst. RC-130A Modified C-130A for photo mapping and charting role. As a part of the 1370th Photo Mapping Wing - 1375th Mapping & Charting Squadron, visited Vietnam from 1966-1970, but was not involved in Combat operations. I added all serial numbers for RC-130A, but not all were visiting Vietnam. I have confirmed a few that are marked by a dot in numbers.lst. There are three fake pilot mods: AC-130A adding some details to the airframe C-130B-II - adding fake fuel tanks, which in reality were mission equipment containers. RC-130A - adding detail to the airframe. Note that bump maps are quite specific for every variant of Hercules in this mod. C-130 and cockpit models by Dels, Skins, decals, and some edits, yours truly. Pilota and fake pilot mods - yakarov AQM drones - Me 1800 Gal fuel tank for tankers - Jarek H. weapons (ECM pods and MER rack for AC-130A) by Ravenclaw South Vietnam Air Force C-130A serial numbers based on Daddyairplanes ' work/mod Have fun. While C-130 models are not mine and you are free to use them as you wish, this mod (skin sets, fake pilots) or any part of it in this current form should not be used in any campaign, mission pack, or any mod without my permission. Thanks for all your kind support. Jarek Hereda Submitter yakarov79 Submitted 05/30/2026 Category C-130  

so after ctrl+O it opens as bombay? in YAP? If it pops from the ass and does not get bigger, it means it is an animation issue.. yes I know how it sounds,

Are you sure you did not use resize on the vertex before? Do not remember now, but I can check on the weekend when I will be with my modeling PC... I did something similar for someone here (Stratos?) on MiG-21... ah... but I think It will not work as a weapon station...It must be defined as airbrake...or separate animation on Shift+ something key

yes maybe you are right.. but some things do not add... all other ANG squadrons that I researched always come up with USAF markings around 63. And according to The Air Reservist magazine issue from 1963 (February) page 10 - under new regulations, Air Guard units would have to remove ANG and state names from the nose sections of their aircraft’s fuselages and replace them with “U.S. Air Force.” here: ....... Also, from your package hangar screen - the photo that you used suggests it was made around 64-65. This F-100C has 54- serial number and is already 10 years old due to 0- prefix. So it can not be markings from 1961... And the aircraft is bearing already US Air Force markings with Minuteman on the tail And keep in mind (yes, I forgot about it on many occasions too - only Wrench is correct always in his mods) that serial numbers and USAF titles are painted in insignia blue FS15044. And according to T.O.1-1-4 it can be substituted (if needed) by gloss black 17038. But generally, insignia blue is the right color. And looking forward into next ANG squadrons mods.

shouldn't be the one with red swoshes first in 1961, and then US Air Force...Historically, you switched from Air Guard markings to USAF in 1963 or 65?

Come on....it is not ugly...it is different. I personally do not think there is an ugly aircraft built yet. Yes, some are nicer than others, but all are fantastic pieces of engineering.

Am I the only teenager here then?

View File F-4C Phantom II in ANG This is a skin/decal set for Phabulous Phantom. Basic modding skills are required to run this mod. (copy/paste, mod folder structure etc.) Pack contains skins and decals representing all F-4C users amid Air National Guard units. Skins are made for stock F-4C_67. F-4C was used in ANG since 1972, and these skins cover all units until 1989. Mostly all serial numbers are correct for specific dates and units. If you find any errors, please feel free to send correction notes. No ini files for this as this is only skin sets. Just simply add skin folders to your favorite F-4C_67. Or create a new, specific one for ANG use. You will find that some aircraft wear kill marks as in real life. If you want to have your own kill marks, you have to modify decal.ini file. To fully enjoy this skin set you need to have ThirdWire F-4C_67. 199th TFS was a colorful squadron and at some point 3 different paintings were present. My mod represents only those in the SEA scheme. Some of them were later covered in ADC grey paint. This pack was done long ago...and was the second part of my other ANG Phantoms. Anyway, after a while, it is uploaded. Here is part one. F-4D. All skins are done in 2048x2048 based on Sundowners and Ravenclaw's work. Brand new Bump files in 2048x2048. All decals made by me. Enjoy. Regards. Jarek Hereda Submitter yakarov79 Submitted 05/14/2026 Category F-4
