Found these fictional Navy repaints for the freeware DSB/Iris T-45 Goshawk at Avsim.com yesterday; by Hartwig Ullrich. Very nice!

Some screenshots included in the zip files:

I had to come right over from AVSIM and make a comment on these paints. They are abso-freakin-lutely gorgeous!!! After Milton's recent help with the "underground wheels" problem I've been flying her alot and these schemes will put her in the air even more often. Hartwig Ullrich's work is OUTSTANDING!!!

darn it Hartwig!

*suspiciously eyeing the forums* which one of yous leaked my plans to do some 'Retro Bird' type paints?

great paints, going straight in my install.....

...And why don't we have real planes painted up like this anymore?:isadizzy:
That one in Marine grey livery reminds me of an OA-4M Skyhawk model I used to play with as a kid.:cost1:
Y'know what'd look good on the Goshawk? Vietnam-era VF-84 markings (as seen on the F-4B's operating off the Independence)

Excellent repaints.. and btw, Matt... if you finish up yours, I'll wrap my "Hawks" up in them as well. Man... IRIS wasn't kidding about "Hawk Superpack"... I just ran the .exe to a temp folder. 14 different versions of the Hawk, including the Goshawk. Each folder has multiple models and repaints :isadizzy:. That's alot of Hawks.

I remember years ago, just being able to download one or two variants at a time that were released as freeware under the DSB title.

i remember that, my first Purchase way back when was the 'DSB Hawk T.mk 1' pack.... closely followed by the 100 series, 200 series and Goshawk

These models have certainly stood the test of time. Milton's wheel fix for the Goshawk and Hartwig's magnificent re-paints have shown yet again that if the base model is sound then it will always provide great satisfaction from future mods/tweaks and professional standard re-paints.

Anyone interested in fixing the non-rotating nosewheel on the Hawk 200?

Thanks for the outstanding re-paints Hartwig.

Here's how I got my Hawks:

$49 Australian dollars at the time IIRC, and it had all the Hawk packs, the F-20 and the F-5 with expansion packs on it but because a few CD's got lost somewhere in the Oz post office David sent out new ones that also had the 'UK fighters' Buccaneer and Phantoms on it.

Well, still plenty of other fictional Navy possibilities for repaints...

just got back from a 3.75mi run (with a mid 1.5mi, 100ft in gain ran in 9mins) and now i'm at a spring to my paint shed! this'll get me back fighting fit in no time!

That would be great Matt! Is the T.1 update available somewhere btw?

That'd work for me too Matt. I wonder if IRIS jazzed up the Hawk just a little before releasing the Super Pack as a freebie... The textures seem a little cleaner, the front wheel has an accurate suspension animation and the sounds seem a little better than the original. Just an observation, it's been a while since I have flown the Goshawk anyhow so maybe these things were already there and I just have a faster PC to run it on.

**Matt Wynn** · April 8th, 2012, 05:32

well i just found ALL the prototype hawk textures i did... so yeah will get it uploaded tonight (Currently making paintkit for T-45C)... just for a sneak peek at my masters to the T.1, just so you get a vague feel for how T-45C would look....

Now that's one of the dumbest questions I've ever heard!!

Count me in with a big YES!!

Looking forward to your paints, Matt. Thanks

**Matt Wynn** · April 8th, 2012, 07:01

all right you lot, here's a first glance of the T-45 in my paint shed, working the externals..... still a shed-load to do but making progress

**Blackbird686** · April 8th, 2012, 07:07

Looks pretty good so far... you'll have to keep us up to date on your wizardry with this little beauty. :salute:

**Matt Wynn** · April 8th, 2012, 08:46

right naptime for me.... been up since 2300 last night working on things, here's how she stands as of this minute... still a fair bit to do, but it's shaping up....

***Ferry_vO*** · April 8th, 2012, 10:04

I like where that is going Matt!

**Matt Wynn** · April 8th, 2012, 19:43

well i just got up after a somewhat disturbed nights sleep, and am already tweaking the VC textures prior to finishing the Externals....

**Matt Wynn** · April 8th, 2012, 20:27

ok that's the VC done apart from seat tweaks:

**Matt Wynn** · April 8th, 2012, 22:22

ok she's just had her first test flight..... just gotta sort the hook mount, and i think that'll do it....

**Matt Wynn** · April 8th, 2012, 23:02

ok just uploaded to here and Flightsim.com :salute: now the wait....

Matt, I love the fictional "Koninklijke Marine" scheme. The Naval Aviation Service from the Dutch Navy does only exist in name. The last helicopters (Westland Lynx) were transferred to the "Defence Helicopter Command and are currently being replaced by the Eurocopter NH-90 (20). The Search and Rescue Service which is currently part of the Air Force will move to the same squadron.

50 years ago the Dutch Navy still had nearly 200 aircraft, among which 15 helicopters and 22 jet fighters. It is all very understandable from political financial and even strategic point of view, but I definitely miss the aircraft from the Naval Air Airfield Valkenburg.

Cheers,
Huub
