Hi,
I have started working on a new map, that would if accepted be played in SEAs.it's based on 1969 El Salvador - Honduras war, or better known as Soccer war.I would need a couple of skins for the map, but i just have no time to make them because i am working on the map.So, please, you guys with f4u templates and ponyd templates, if you could to these skins, i would be very grateful, and of course you would be mentioned in map credits.
Salvadoran fg1, which is actually f4u-1d
Another FAS FG-1 was this example - serialled FAS-219 - that has got an even heavier camouflage. The aircraft was most likely originally painted Gull-Gray overall: this colour was left only on the undersides, while the upper sides have got a heavy disruptive pattern in Light and Forrest Green. Interestingly, both in the case above and bellow the yellow identification stripes were retained. The FAS-219 was shot down by Honduran AAA, on 17 July 1969.
Honduran f4u-5, which is actually f4u4
601 was one of Honduran F4U-5s: these were originally night fighters and had a darke camouflage pattern than other Corsairs. Of interest is the position of the light blue star on the fin: it is not in the middle of the white field, but on the top of it.
Salvadoran p-51d:
The background of the FAS P-51D "407" is not entirely clear: it should have been a "stock"-Mustang. According to some sources, it was the first "new" P-51D acquired form civilian sources in the USA to arrive in El Salvador during the war. According to other, it was shot down on 18 July 1969, apparently by Honduran AAA.
Here is a screen of a town from the map:
