[djnocturnal]

Has anyone done any paints for the Indian AF Jaguars? I was about to paint them but I thought i'd ask first

[TheFoufure]

Ahhh, thanks. I searched avsim for everything but IAF so nothing came up. Thanks!

[Firebird]

yeah, avsim's search engine can sometimes hinder you.

One thing I would mention, Mark, and this should not detract from what Ray has done, is that there are a lot less paints than there are Jags.

With a strength of 5 Sqns and a total of around 140, of all variants, it would seem likely that each squadron has a nominal strength of at least 18-24 depending on if the training squadron/OCU has double squadron strength or not. Somebody with a lot more knowledge of the IAF than myself would be more useful.

I keep hoping that Stew will eventually cover them but there are more paints that could be done. Maybe somebody with Scramble access might be able to give more info.

I can definitely do them, I have to finish the one tiger paint scheme for VFC-13 and those will be ready to go.

*UPDATE*
Just found a website that seems to say that a 6th squadron exists, one that was disbanded as a MiG-23 sqn and subsequently reformed. Also it indicates that 5x squadrons have a strength of 16x IS and 2x IT versions whilst the 6th has 4x IS, 2x IT and 6x IM.

These totals do not include ones in the maintenance system nor storage. Site last updated in at least 2013 so possibly fairly accurate.

I'll see what I can find for serials tonight, if anyone has more info let me know!

[Firebird]

I found this from a strike Fighters site. Somebody did all the schemes for Strike Fighters!!!

Allocation of Jaguar Serials:
JI001-JI018 RAF aircraft on loan - returned (18)
JS101-JS135 UK Direct Supply (35)
JS136-JS204 HAL Manufacture (79)
JT051-JT053 UK Direct Supply Two seaters (3)
JT054-JT065 HAL Manufactured (12)
JT066-JT082 HAL Manufactured DARIN II (17)
JM251-JM262 HAL Manufactured Maritime (12)
Total 158 + 18* (* - Loan / Returned)

That covers all the serials but not the unit markings or allocations.

Good find Steve! Markings shold be fairly easy to find, but allocations could be tough. I guess my next question is any one willing to do flight plans for them? It's a lot of paints and I just don't have the patience for them lol.

Hi Ray,

Have stuck a document with the current fleet allocations (as per scramble) in your ftp.

If someone decides to do the plans, let me know and I'll get a copy to them also.

[RKE]

I can do them if noone else pokes their head up. I even have some parking space for them at Jamnagar and Gorakhpur, courtesy of some ages old ADEs I made

They won't RPP FPgen type plans, as I prefer to do them by hand these days, so they may take a while to complete.

[Stewart Pearson]

Okay - for whoever decides to do the plans - attached zip contains current fleet allocations as per Scramble.

Are the 2 sceneries finished mate? If not, you can PM them to me and I'll complete them........................save me a bit of time.

[RKE]

Taxiways, runways and parking spots are more or less completed. I can't remember why I never finished them, but seeing as it was the early days of working with ADE, I'm sure there's plenty of errors :lol

[f4nutter]

hi Stew, do you want me to paint the missing textures for an update package ?

[f4nutter]

Mark, i also did the Hunters, Canberra's and SU-30MKI all on AVSIM
