"Official" F-4E Livery Discussion

[Tomcatter87]

Those liveries and the external model look gorgeous. I'm pretty sure I've seen footage of more hellenic and japanese liveries, I hope they will make it into the release as well.

There are many more and a bunch of those are old/have been updated since that was shot.

It was mentioned at the end.

Good to know, the Cali ang bird has the roundel on the wrong wing.

That's from an old build and has been fixed long time ago.

Very nice!!!

Also a massive like for including four official German AF skins (including two Richthofen skins, just the right thing for my virtual 1./JG-71 )

 

But on the Luftwaffe skin I like most is the wrong badge. Should be this one  (my pic from 1991):

I wanted to be grateful for what we get and not too demanding… but you are right of course, that badge would have been much better 

Nice pic as always.

Spoiler

What I‘d really like Heatblur to do is create Norm 72 and norm 81 aircraft for every period-correct German AF Phantom squadron by simply exchanging the squadron badges, i.e. JG71, JG74, JaboG35/JG73 JaboG36/JG72.

I like the JaboG 36 / JG 72 one most, cause I did my military duty @ Hopsten AB. 

Can´t wait to put my hands on some skins for the Phantom.

Great! And don‘t forget Neuburg and Pferdsfeld/Laage!

Don't worry Stefan, I'll have one coming up after release.

Just watched Growling Sidewinders video and noticed that the skin he had was not in the "official" list in the road map thread.

a) Has it since been added, in which case

b) Was it one of his own? which means he knocked that up real quick!

or

c) It is in the set and I just did not look properly

It's AF-66-300 and AF-66-382. They were in the list I posted roughly two months ago on discord Courtesy of @Mach3DS

[DD_Friar]

@ben_der thank you. I have not gone to the discord - I was only going by the screen shots posted here.

looking forward to next week.

 

[Mach3DS]

Enjoy it soon!

I was pleasantly surprised when I saw that.

Will be included any 52nd TFW Spangdahlem Phantom skins?

 

[Ala12Rv-watermanpc]

So, no love for the Spanish phantoms?. It would be great to have a skin for them.

It'd seem unlikely they'd do an official scheme with the module as I think i'm right in saying Spain never operated the E model?

Yes, but even if not fully realistic, it would be great to have one.

Spang jets were all TISEO/DMAS, so they'll come once that variant is done.

No doubt someone probably will do one in time when the paint kit is more widely available. I suppose Razbam did Israeli skins for the F-15E despite them operating the F-15I, but usually official skins tend to try to be historically accurate.

Great News ¡¡¡

 

Those SP Phantoms are iconic, both European 1 camo pattern and two Grey tone skins. Thanks for the info LanceCriminal.

Well, we're recieving an RAF skin since the guy that developed the radar requested it.  Only skin coming with it that's labelled fictional.  Unlikely they make any others and I won't be using it personally since I don't like how short nose skins look on long nose Phantoms.

[toni]

does HB contemplate the variant C at some point ?  was in service with the Spanish Air Force I think . If not guess Ejercito del Aire, ALA 12  skins will be developed for the E

[Biggus]

Just out of interest, if I were to delete a fictional skin, what skin does the E default to?
