Just finished sorting myself out with a repaint kit for the new AI F4 FGR2, so if anyones interested I'll be doing some new RAF schemes in the near future.

Couple pics of my trial schemes on the paint kit, totally ficticious, Harrier style two tone green, and WW2 style three tone desert cammo.

Real schemes to follow!

Hi had a look at your site and there were no new updated downloads for the new textures you have done for the FGR2, 14 17 29 31 111 Sqns.
Is there a link to the right page?

Regards Mark...........

These are great Andy, :D

Have you any inclination to do the USAFE F-4C/D & E's to complement them?

:?: :?: :?:

Hi Andy

I can't see a 43 Sqdn one? Have I missed it?

43 Sqn will be in the next package to be uploaded. Allong with 41 and at least one other squadron (54 possibly).

There were quite a few units in Europe in the early '70's. However the USAF had a fairly generic camouflage scheme, so for AI purposes I guess it would just be a case of adding the tail fin code which was in white, together with the last three of the serial number for the particular unit after you had the paint scheme for each variant sorted.

There were four variants: F-4C, RF-4C, F-4D and F-4E.

F-4C: 401TFW at Torrejon, Spain with tailcode 'TJ'
81TFS/52TFW at Spangdahlem, Germany with code 'SP'

RF-4C: 10TRW at RAF Alconbury, UK with code 'AR'
26TRW at Zweibrucken, Germany with code 'ZS'

F-4D: 36TFW at Bitburg, Germany with code 'BT'
48TFW at RAF Lakenheath, UK with code 'LN'
50TFW at Hahn, Germany with code 'HR'
52TFW at Spangdahlem, Germany with code 'SP'
81TFW at RAF Bentwaters/Woodbridge with code 'WR'
86TFW at Ramstein, Germany with code 'RS'

F-4E: 36TFW at Bitburg, Germany with code 'BT'
50TFW at Hahn, Germany with code 'HR'
32TFS at Soesterburg, Netherlands with code 'CJ'

I don't know whether Ferdinand Martinez will be releasing an RF-4C but if not, the F-4E is fairly similar in outline and would 'pass' in AI.

Still game?

Excellent work Andy

Are you planning to do a Royal Navy version?

Keep up the great work

Thats a fair list :D I'll see what I can do!

I expect I'll do RN ones when the model appears.
