AH Skins - F-84G Thunderjet - Come and get 'em!

_AH_Boosher · March 31, 2011, 09:48:35 PM

Since DW has been having so much success with the P-40's, and because I find myself needing something to do at the moment, I thought I'd give it a go with the F-84G. She's probably one of my favorite Korean War Jets, second only to the MiG-15, and I've wanted to get the squad up in 'Lead Sleds' for a good long while. So here's the basic lowdown - After some haggling with USAF officials, I finally got them to release planes in the serial number range 108901 to 108999. 108901 is currently in use as the default scheme testing aircraft, and I liked 108908 the best, so that one's for me. But the rest are still up for grabs! Air Force Command has already approved the color schemes for Aces High's four flights. Here they are:

Current HQ should pick a color scheme for their former flights.

A Flight gets a blazing RED scheme.

B Flight will be using a roaring ORANGE scheme.

C Flight will be surfing the skies on a beautiful BLUE scheme.

D Flight gets to tear it up with a mean GREEN scheme.

But WAIT! There's more! Your aircraft has customizable options! Here's a list of what you can do to your airplane:

So, if you'd like an F-84G paintscheme of your very own, copy and paste this form in a reply and fill it out below

Roger that, Hogan.

By the way, is this okay?

Those episodes actually came out in 1951, so it's the perfect plane to put it on.

I like that Boosher, what's another name for the North Koreans that sounds like Rabbit? Commie Season?

In Korean, this is how to say rabbit: 토끼 (pronounced: tohk-keeh), I'll let you know if I come up with anything else. Otherwise the skin's finished. I'll send it before I go to bed tonight. Lippy, I'll start work on yours tomorrow.

You should have two folders, one labeled F-84G1_Thunderjet and the other labeled F-84G2_Thunderjet. The skins go in there.
