Akatsuki Posted December 30, 2015 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
BoNidle Posted January 2, 2016 Posted January 2, 2016 I have been mulling over JASDF, I'll have a look after I finish my current project.
Akatsuki Posted January 2, 2016 Author Posted January 2, 2016 You're my hero! Thank you. :) I was really surprised to not find any JASDF liveries for the Sabre.
BoNidle Posted January 11, 2016 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
Akatsuki Posted January 11, 2016 Author 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.
GeorgeLKMT Posted January 11, 2016 Posted January 11, 2016 They're in English. ■ L-39C/ZA Czech cockpit mod ■ My DCS skins ■
BoNidle Posted January 11, 2016 Posted January 11, 2016 Thanks GeorgeLKMT....that's a relief! I wasn't looking forwards to trying to translate them all.
BoNidle Posted January 19, 2016 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
CHSubZero Posted January 19, 2016 Posted January 19, 2016 I really like the livery of the 727. Good job as always BoNidle! Aviation Livery - Explore Military Aircraft Liveries My Mods: DCS User Files
Akatsuki Posted January 19, 2016 Author Posted January 19, 2016 Thank you BoNidle, they're looking fabulous!
BoNidle Posted January 22, 2016 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.
BoNidle Posted January 22, 2016 Posted January 22, 2016 This is the actual Sabre I was trying to recreate:
BoNidle Posted January 24, 2016 Posted January 24, 2016 Some "Adversary" Sabres from the 1st Air Wing, 1st Sqn, in the 1970's. (should be up soon at User Files;
BoNidle Posted January 25, 2016 Posted January 25, 2016 Last JASDF for a while now, 6th Squadron, 8thAW. Should be up soon at User Files.
Akatsuki Posted January 29, 2016 Author Posted January 29, 2016 Great Stuff! Thank you for these liveries!
Akatsuki Posted July 17, 2016 Author Posted July 17, 2016 Will you update your textures? With the new bort system they don't display well anymore? :(
Akatsuki Posted November 20, 2017 Author 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). Edited November 20, 2017 by Akatsuki
Akatsuki Posted November 21, 2017 Author Posted November 21, 2017 Here's a .ZIP archive with all the updated Description.lua for every JASDF liveries made by BoNidle.
Akatsuki Posted January 22, 2020 Author 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. :)

CHSubZero Posted March 14, 2020 Posted March 14, 2020 (edited) Working on reflections Edited March 16, 2020 by CHSubZero Aviation Livery - Explore Military Aircraft Liveries My Mods: DCS User Files
CHSubZero Posted March 15, 2020 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 Aviation Livery - Explore Military Aircraft Liveries My Mods: DCS User Files
