Israeli F-4E Phantom II - Kurnass 2000 - 201 Sqn
This skin is for the F-4E Phantom (Kurnass 2000) belonging to 201 squadron based at Tel-Nof AB, Israel.Some details are missing due to the strange behaviour of the skin ( for example the red edge of the jet intakes).
Please also note that this skin overwrites the Turkish skin, and if you added the F-4E to the US side, it will overwrite the US skin too (it's the same).
There are two versions, one high-resolution (1024x1024) that doesn't fit into the CDDS files and one with a lower resolution (512x512) that can be merged in the CDDS file.

F-4G Wild Weasel skin
A skin for the F-4E aircraft that turns it into the F-4G Wild Weasel SEAD platform. The file includes istructions on how to add the F-4E to the US planes and how to add new payloads (those used by F-4G).

T-80 Desert camo
A fictional skin for a desert-type scenario. There are Iraqi-like markings on the turret side, but it's quite a fictional scheme because the old Iraqi army didn't have T-80 and because even their T-72 had different features and markings.You can download it here!

T-80 Soviet Guards skin and T-80 template
A fictional skin for a Central Front scenario. This does not want to represent any actual unit that served in Central Europe, it was made to try my new T-80 skin template. However as far as I know the Guards badge on the tank sight cover was actually carried by some Guards tanks. Enjoy!PS: I updated the skin and the template to version 1.2, with some added markings and weathering.
You can download both here!

F-15 Eagle Cold War Skin Pack
This skin pack includes new tails for the F-15 Eagle. The tails belong to '80s US squadrons. Also squadron markings on the jet intakes have been painted like real ones.The brand new tails are for:
A few notes:
In 1990 the 36th TFW deployed to Saudi Arabia for operations Desert Shield and Desert Storm against Iraq, where it claimed 14 kills against the Iraqi Air Force, same record as Eglin's 33rd TFW.
Please note that this skin pack was not a planned release, because some things still must be fixed:

F-14 Tomcat 1989 VF-32 Swordsmen
January, 14th, 1989. Following another escalation in the US-Lybia relations, the US 6th fleet is conducting exercises off the Lybian coast, in the Gulf of Sirte. In the middle of the morning a pair of Lybian MiG-23 Floggers try to intercept some US aircraft; two fleet Tomcats belonging to VF-32 Swordsmen are routed to intercept the incoming bogeys. After some failed disengagement maneuvers the Floggers are declared hostile and are shot down in a short fight, where 2 Sparrows and one Sidewinder are fired.This skin represents the camouflage and the tail art of the VF-32 Tomcats that took part to that shotdown, AC-204 and AC-207, callsign GYPSY.
The camouflage is quite typical for that timeframe, when most of US Navy aircraft adopted a low-viz scheme.

F-16 USAF Desert Camo (experimental)
A USAF two-tones test camo for F-16 desert ops, very cool, with some weathering too ;)Here's the description from "Viper - Modern Military Aircraft - Squadron/Signal publications":
F-16C (84-1212) of the 33rd TFS, 363rd TFW, based at Al-Dhafra (UAE) during Desert Storm (1991) was given an experimental desert camouflage. It was so effective that on its first flight his wingman lost sight of him during the initial join-up! It was repainted in standard F-16 colors after a week of testing.
This skin has been painted according to the official camo scheme and using computer-simulated FS-military tones

Cuban MiG-29 Fulcrum
This is a standard-res Cuban Mig-29 camo. This skin overwrites the default Soviet camo, but if you want you can change this.You don't need a tweaked nomera.tga file to avoid the soviet red stars painted over the Cuban camo.

Tornado Template
This one has been released just to fulfill some requests. It's a PSD template for the Tornado IDS, including a "Desert-Pink" tone camo, employed by RAF Tornados during the 1991 Gulf War (Operation Desert Storm). The template is quite rough, since it was my first try to build one, so don't expect a professional template! Please also note that this template does not remove the British or German markings from the aircraft. To do this you must edit the nomera-black.tga file.You can download it here!
