Skin Release : 57th Medevac Vietnam 1962 - 1963 : The Originals


Recommended Posts

Posted (edited)

Release of my skin that I was working on today.

 

If you have any ideas to improve, then please don't hesitate to let me know. Pilots still to be done.

 

Obviously I am hoping for a version of the Huey with no gunners or weapon rails to be released, is that happening?

 

 

 

57th Medical Detachment UH-1B, 1962-63

The 57th Medical Detachment was the first helicopter medical evacuation unit to arrive in Vietnam. They landed in Vietnam in April, 1962. The 57th began operations at Nha Trang with three aircraft. In January 1963, they were re-assigned to Soc Trang near Saigon to support U.S. and Vietnamese operations in III and IV Corps. As additional UH-1Bs arrived, two aircraft were detached to Pleiku to support operations in II Corps.


The 57th's first UH-1Bs flew with "high visibility" stateside markings. Simple red cross symbols were painted on the cargo doors and nose. The word "AMBULANCE" in white or yellow appeared above the cargo door window of some ships.

Hi marker,

can you check your 57th_medevac_body.dds file. I think you moved a layer out of the center.

HI Mate

 

 

As normal, extract the whole folder from the original version to bazaar/liveries/uh1

 

Once you have done that, just extract the replacement body file into that folder, which is named 57th Medevac 1962 - 1963

Hello Marker,

 

Congratulation for your repaint, I really like ^^

I've just a little question about the blue color of the US flag, your blue color is not too flashy ?

I'm very sorry for my poor English, best regards. Skull

I made the army and insignia quite bright because that is the way the detachment supposedly had it when they first entered service.

 

@killa

 

Sorry mate, forgot I had added a new picture and just waiting for authorisation for the edited upload again.

 

Shouldnt be that long before it is available.

Hello dear Marker,

 

I would like to thank you for your explanations, now I can say that I've learn a new thing of the history.

Since I use one flight simulator I've learn more that in the books...

Best regards, Skull.

Updated link in OP, while we wait for the DCS link to be authorised!
