These skins are the next installment in my F-51 International Series, following South Africa. The ROKAF series features three skins paying homage to Col. Dean Hess and the Korean pilots who flew the F-51 during the Korean War.

The maroon-nose No. 18 represents Dean Hess’s aircraft, featuring the Korean inscription 信念의 鳥人! (Bird Man of Faith), reflecting his motto, “I FLY BY FAITH.”

The silver-nose No. 18 is another variation of Dean Hess’s aircraft, featuring the distinctive “LAST CHANCE” marking on the right side of the aircraft.

The yellow-nose No. 13, which I like to call “Lucky 13,” was one of the first aircraft in the squadron. The number 13 is not traditionally considered unlucky in Korea, while the number 4 certainly has that reputation—so hopefully, a little of that luck carries forth with you!

Enjoy the skins, and I hope you enjoy flying them as much as I enjoyed making them.

Been practicing holding formation with a friend and I’ve been struggling with holding tight ship during Climbs, Dives, steep turns. If there are any positioning advice or pitch power control tips do let me know

Practicing formations with a buddy but can’t seem to get turns, climbs and dives tight enough. Any advice on perfecting the form and understanding positioning. Sometimes I lag behind even at a higher power setting

This is the 3rd and sadly the last variant of the F51 in the SAAF series. And to mark the milestone this livery is to commemorate an individual Pilot lost during the War.

Lt. Critton Pappas was a pilot of No.2 Squadron of the SAAF in the Korean War. He flew a blue nose F51 with tail number 363 on his first and unfortunately last mission 4th November 1951 during a rail road interdiction mission.

This livery closely resembles the aircraft Lt Pappas flew. I’ve decided to name this aircraft “CAPE TOWN CONNIE”. pretty self explanatory.
I would like to give credit to u/-_Eros_- (eggbred) for the name.

I hope you guys like the final installment of the SAAF series.

Stay tuned for the Final release of the SAAF series F51 this Thursday

This is the livery is a Passion Project of mine and was made to represent the No.2 Squadron “Flying Cheetahs” of the South African Air force that was attached to the 18th Fighter bomber group flying the F51 Mustangs. An Air Force many have forgotten the sacrifices and contributions to the war in Korea. I’m made this livery as a way to commemorate them.

The Rainbow nose is “JOBURG JUGGERNAUT”. Joburg is a nick name for the city of Johannesburg South Africa.

The Orange nose is “SPRINGBOK SPECIAL”. The Springbok is an antelope that is native to South Africa and is its National Animal.

I hope I can represent this squadron and the SAAF well in IL2 Korea and also hope you like it.

The Livery represents a squadron that fought in the Korean War many has forgotten the contribution and sacrifice of. A squadron that suffered a 4.36% casualty rate and lost 67% of their aircraft in the war.

I hope I can represent this squadron well and also hope you like it.

I’ve been using adobe photoshop to make a livery with the newly released templates and the old stars and bars that I removed are still there in a white background. Is it something I’m doing or is it a bug. On the template in my photoshop is not visible.
