Sydy Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 Hi guys! I decided to make a generic Jambock silver livery so it compose my upcoming (already uploaded) P-47D Jambock Daredevil campaign. It came out very immersive, specially for the brazilians. Anyway... Here goes a generic one: A bit of History: The First Brazilian Fighter Group was created in 1943. The training was performed by the Forward Echelon in Florida, then as a Group in P-40s in Aguadulce, Panama, and Suffolk, New York, flying P-47s. It had a Squadron size. During the World War II , the Group was attached to the 350th Fighter Group in Italy as the 4th squadron (1944-1945). It was based initially in Tarquinia and later in Pisa. Due to low on replacements, the pilots extended the Tour of Duty until the war end. "Jambock" was the callsign used by the Brazilian Fighter Group during the war and still is in used today (flying F-5EM and F-5FM). "Jambock" name has an Indonesian/South African origin (sjanbok or Sambok) and means "animal skin or wood whip". It was a kind of whip. About this Livery: The livery is as historical as possible, but with no Flight or Serial numbers markings. The airplanes that were flew from USA to Brazil in 1947 had no Nose marks. You may download the P-47D - 1st Brazilian Fighter Squadron - Jambock - Generic Silver Livery here The Patch on the nose means: - Ostrich - Brazilians can take and handle anything; - Hat - The Brazilian Air Force Pilot; - Shield - The Thunderbolt toughness and the Pilot protection; - Blue and the 5 Stars - Brazilian Sky and the "South Cross constellation"; - Pistol - the Jug fire-power; - Cloud - the airdpace, "the pilot's floor"; - Red Backgroung - the blood of the Brazilians WIA and KIA; - "Senta a Púa!" - Group Motto and means "Go for it!" in a "free translation"; Later, after the war, it was added a Flak Cloud to represent the enemy AAA. How to install: 1st Option: Extract the 1st Brazilian Ftr Sq-Jambock-Generic Silver folder to your C:Eagle DynamicsDCS World OpenBetaCoreModsWWII UnitsP-47D-30LiveriesP-47D-30 folder.

The rearmost part of the lateral insignias are kind metallic. I think it will be solved with the future template.
