So I am assuming that all paints that have been done so far should work with new version, So I can add paints to new version and delete old version ?
And yes this is a fantastic addon, Thank You Very Much

Uploaded a couple repaints for the F-8J when assigned to VFP-63 at NAS Miramar in the 1970's. One more from 1980 to follow.
Frank,
I thought VFP-63 was a photo outfit. That F-8 looks to have gun ports on it.
Maybe this one for a model

Frank's painted them correctly.
VFP-63 had some F-8Js assigned alongside RF-8Gs as lead-in / familiarization capacities, as the there were limited numbers of the actual photo birds.

Do I hope that RFN does an RF-8G model? Without question, but that's a "fingers-crossed, dream of a lifetime" hope for another day.

Nice - Reserve F-8 squadrons often had some of the most colourful schemes.

Chick-a boom * Chick-a boom, don't you just love it!!! Sierra Hotel!
Thanks Steve,
Thank you Frank. As I mentioned above when I found this J I jumped on it. I try my best as I known many do to be true to the actual model. So, I’ve passed up quite a few great looking birds for want of the right equipment.
Cool screenie Butch. Thanks for posting it.

Here's one for Pete (Navy Chief). He asked me for a Crusader from Patuxent River.
I found this F-8J assigned to Naval Air Test Center Flight Test at NAS Patuxent River, Maryland.
In mid-1970 this aircraft was used for F-8 Crusader compatability trials on board the USS Midway following
the four-year modernization overhaul of the ship.

Yeah, with Steve on the transition schemes. Not to detract from the preceding decade of service in bright colours, the succeeding almost decade for both F-4s and F-8s in the the varying shades of TPS is an often overlooked period.
I like the Pax River scheme too, as test and development schemes are very close to my nerd engineer heart. If a C model (pointy radome) materializes, I've got some good pics I took from a trip to Edwards on the DFBW (digital fly by wire) testbed F-8.
Thanks Frank and Steve (et al) for the great paints.

Uploaded another texture set for the RFN F-8E(FN)/F-8J by RFN. This one requires v1.2 or newer to get the correct coloring on the IR sensor housing.
This is another bird from VFP-63 at NAS Miramar in 1980. By this time the aircraft were still overall gray but had greatly reduced all national and unit markings.
Should be available in a day or so. Enjoy.
I am modeling the under-wing pylons and I'm in need of a good reference picture. I have a couple of good dimensional drawings, so I'm good on size and shape..... but I'm having trouble with panel lines and other details.
I've looked through all of my books and pictures and I am almost flabbergasted that I cant find even one good picture. I'm forced to use a picture of a pylon from a plastic model kit instead but I can already see that the panel lines on it are incorrect, based on a picture I have showing the first 3 feet or so of a pylon on a USMC Crusader.
I'm trying to get this out the door ASAP, so any help would be very much appreciated. Thanks.
Current System Specs :
FSXA & P3Dv4 | Windows 10 Professional for Workstations (x64)
Motherboard: Gigabit Z390 Aorus Ultra, LGA 1151, Intel based
CPU: Intel Core i9-9900K @ 3.60GHz | RAM: G.Skill Ripjaws V 16GB DDR4 3600
GPU: ZOTAC GeForce GTX 980 Ti AMP! Extreme (6GB GDDR5)
HD: 1TB SanDisk SSD Plus | PSU: KDM 750W ATX Power Supply
if either of these are of interest I can forward in larger format tomorrow.
Also have D and E op manual with drawings of pylon and MER and TER
