It’s pretty easy to make your own RAF roundels if you know the proper sizes and ratios of the various colours. You can build them in layers, like a wedding cake, with the smallest disc to largest disc arranged from top to bottom.

Mugga, looks like we were watching some of the same eBay items, congrats on pulling the trigger!

Agree. Would be great to have pilots with period correct flying gear for the older airplanes.

I'll probably put something together after the changes are done to the model.

Haha, ok!

Something like this (in progress)?

I’ve been advised that there will be some updates to the F-104 model soon. I’ve put new stuff on hold for a while in case I have to go back and change a bunch of stuff after the new model is released. While we wait I could whip up something basic. Were you looking for the Camo/dayglo scheme?

Sweet!

Aw shucks, Rick ... ...and yes, we need a 104 in DCS!!!

Have you tried running a repair on your DCS installation? https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/support/faq/709/

It looks like the game is putting the wrong object on the wingtip. Can you send a better pic of the object? Besides an update/repair of your specific game installation you could ask VSN about it. Skin files won’t affect how objects are placed, only what the object texture will look like.

Thanks! More to come

Yes, we can only hope. I too want to feel the power of BLC being the difference between living and dying.

Yup... Nono, I mean a T-33, not a TF-104

First two SEA Camo skins available in first post.

Well, that’s exciting! Soulfreak, could we expect a stretch job and second seat for the F-80C model? Only a billion T-33 skins out there waiting to happen

F-104C hacks "Snoopy Sniper" and "Smoke II" uploaded and awaiting approval. Common Textures folder has been updated to include new shared Camo textures and can be (re)downloaded and installed now.

And? Annnnd? Looks like open season on Republic products. Hope there will be a swept-wing version as well!

There will be a fairly large update to the Common Textures folder with the release of the Camo skins. Changes will obviously include the new tanks and pylons camo textures. The big change will be that each camo skin probably won't have to have the center fuselage portion, as it should be the same for all liveries. It will be included in the Common Textures folder instead, with the result that the individual camo skin files should be smaller.

Assorted F-104C W.I.P. stuff

Some F-104C hacks, Udorn RTAFB 57-923, "Hellooo Dolly" 57-925, "Smoke II"

Good stuff!

Yes, you will need the Common Textures folder, it contains various shared textures that all my F-104 skins use. This is why you are getting that mosaic effect on the model, it can't find certain textures that are missing.

Hi navyBtown, Mizzy has it right, drop the Common Textures into the same folder you are putting each skin folder into, don't put it into the individual skin folder! Should look something like the pic. In the same folder as all of the skins are installed into, NOT in the skin folders themselves.

Pitot tube fixed Yeah, the underside colour will be "irregular" - wavy but not a repeating pattern of symmetrical waves, the Puerto Rican F-104 photo you posted is a good example.
