Akatsuki Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 (edited) I've been looking for JASDF liveries for the Sabre. I could not find any. So, if anyone is willing to do one i'd be really happy. :) Edited December 30, 2015 by Akatsuki Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Akatsuki Posted January 2, 2016 Author Share Posted January 2, 2016 You're my hero! Thank you. :) I was really surprised to not find any JASDF liveries for the Sabre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoNidle Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 (edited) Getting close to rolling this one out. Its still a WIP at the moment. Its from the 1st Air Wing, 1st Squadron according to my research. I still have to re-skin the tanks (both the 120 and the 200 type) and the pylons. I will also try and re-skin the pilots flightsuit to the orange JASDF version and removed the USAF symbol from it. But I have am having a tough time trying to matt down the metal finish to resemble the JASDF silver painted finishes without losing the metal effect completely. The data stencils are still in English as I cannot find a decent source to tell me if they should be in Japanese. I will also release a version without numbers with it. I am doing the "Aggressor" version with the red nose, fuselage band and wingtips next. Edited January 11, 2016 by BoNidle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akatsuki Posted January 11, 2016 Author Share Posted January 11, 2016 Cool! I can't wait. About the stencils. If it's like their F-15J they are in japanese, but i can't help for F-86's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BoNidle Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 Thanks GeorgeLKMT....that's a relief! I wasn't looking forwards to trying to translate them all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoNidle Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 First two are submitted to user files. I'm still working on the "adversary" version with the red band as I cannot get the red to look anywhere near right at the moment. The ones completed are from the 1st and 8th Squadrons. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHSubZero Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 I really like the livery of the 727. Good job as always BoNidle! My Mods: DCS User Files Modules owned: EVERY Module :pilotfly: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BoNidle Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 Thanks guys. Interesting change doing JASDF. However I have been surprised at the lack of information available compared to USAF. Luckily I have found some useful websites. This one was a bit of a challenge: Its the CO's aircraft of the 3rd Squadron 2nd Air Wing as it appeared at Misawa AB in May 1975. The "snake heads" on the tanks proved interesting, as did getting the writing on the tanks to line up. I have submitted it to User Files so it should hopefully be up soon. It includes a generic version too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Akatsuki Posted July 17, 2016 Author Share Posted July 17, 2016 Will you update your textures? With the new bort system they don't display well anymore? :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akatsuki Posted November 20, 2017 Author Share Posted November 20, 2017 (edited) I've updated all of BoNidle's JASDF Sabre description.lua files so now the BORT numbers display correctly. If you're interested -and if BoNidle is OK with it- let me know and i'll upload the files. Edit: I have also updated the country list, so now you can use these skins when Japan is selected in the mission editor (You can still select them with USA).

Akatsuki Posted January 22, 2020 Author Share Posted January 22, 2020 Bumping this thread. BoNidle's liveries are not compatible anymore, so if anyone is up on painting JASDF Sabre, that would be awesome. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CHSubZero Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 (edited) I think I got it now with the reflections. The variant on the bottom looks more like the real F-86 Sabres from Japan, but I like the more reflective version :D I think I'll stay with the version on top, even if it is fictional. And no, I don't manage both versions ;) Edited March 16, 2020 by CHSubZero My Mods: DCS User Files Modules owned: EVERY Module :pilotfly: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
