jocko417 Posted June 24, 2016 Posted June 24, 2016 I'd been thinking of doing a Columbian Sabre for a while, mainly because the camo scheme is very similar to the RCAF camo, and also because a guy I work with was in the FAC... Forum member "Chimango" has been assisting with a FAA skin and since the camo is pretty much identical to that used on Bolivian Sabres I might as well do the A-B-Cs of South America... Argentina, Bolivia, Columbia :D F-86F of the Fuerza Aerea Argentina Just have to finish the 200 gal drops.
Chimango Posted June 24, 2016 Posted June 24, 2016 As i've already told you by PM thanks very much Jocko, you are very talented. Looking good so far! I will translate that portuguese text you've asked for. BTW, the skin looks a bit matte compared to others you've made. Is it because it's still WIP, or it has to be with the light angle on that screenshot? Or...maybe it's just me :D 666GIAP_Chimanov - My Tomcat tribute video, type on youtube browser=> "DCS F-14 Tomcat Symphony"

jocko417 Posted June 25, 2016 Author Posted June 25, 2016 I think it's the angle the pics were taken that makes the camo look matte, combined with the direction the aircraft is pointed and the angle of the sun. For the painted liveries I try to go for something between glossy and new and sun faded wreck rotting in a field ;) Thanks for the translations!

jocko417 Posted June 25, 2016 Author Posted June 25, 2016 Me too! Including the UVW layers in your latest templates has made the process a lot faster and easier, many thanks! :)
Gandalf_56 Posted June 25, 2016 Posted June 25, 2016 Outstanding piece of work Jocko!!! We appreciate your effort. From now on this cammo will be the one for all our Sabres in our Condor Sqdn. Again thank you very much!!!! http://www.ecv56condor.com.ar ECV56 Condor - Discord Channel
jocko417 Posted June 25, 2016 Author Posted June 25, 2016 Bolivian Sabre F-86F of GAC-32, Fuerza Aerea Boliviana. I'm discovering that photos of Bolivian Sabres are rather rare... at least period photos of them in active service. Serial number styles differ from pic to pic but here it is: Cheers!
jocko417 Posted July 1, 2016 Author Posted July 1, 2016 (edited) Argentina and Bolivia F-86F skins uploaded Uploaded and awaiting approval... C-120 of IV Brigada Aerea, FAA: Many thanks to Chimango for help in stencil translation and historical accuracy! :thumbup: and... 658 of Grupo Aereo de Caza 32, Fuerza Aerea Boliviana: Currently working on a Columbian Canadair Mk.6 and if time permits might do a Mk.4 from Honduras too, as I like the camo scheme. :) Edited July 1, 2016 by jocko417
M460 Posted July 1, 2016 Posted July 1, 2016 Please do the Colombian skin. One reason to go get it right now. #I've been dreaming about an unlicensed version of the MIG-31... [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
jocko417 Posted July 1, 2016 Author Posted July 1, 2016 (edited) Progress: Anybody have any images of period squadron patches for the FAC Sabre pilots? The FAC Sabre markings changed slightly over the service life of the aircraft, I've decided to omit the full FAC title as seen later and depict the aircraft as it appeared shortly after delivery from Canadair. The nationality markings were fun to make :) Edited July 1, 2016 by jocko417
DonJosh Posted July 1, 2016 Posted July 1, 2016 I will try to find some Patches when iam home The skins looks awesome so far! Gesendet von meinem GT-I9505 mit Tapatalk

jocko417 Posted July 3, 2016 Author Posted July 3, 2016 All DCS ECV56 squad is very pleased and thankful. My pleasure, glad you all like it. Chau! Suerte! :) @DonJosh, yeah I know. Pics are quite rare.
DonJosh Posted July 4, 2016 Posted July 4, 2016 jocko, are your skins released on the download page because i find nothing...
jocko417 Posted July 4, 2016 Author Posted July 4, 2016 Pending approval. After the weekend they'll probably show up. I made a no serials version for Chimango and his squad, that's why he was able to post pics :)
