Here's a small collection of Hawker Tempest IIs in service with the newly independent air forces of India and Pakistan post-WW II. These aircraft served from the late 40s through early 1950s.  Both countries operated the type on combat support missions during the 1947-49 Kashmir conflict.  PAF White T (A139) is a 14 squadron aircraft operational in 1949.  PAF A128 was probably assigned to No. 5 squadron in 1947-48.  IAF HA 626 is a 10 Squadron "Winged Daggers" bird that flew combat ops in Kashmir and white "L" (HA426) is from No. 7 Squadron "Battle Axes". Black "E" (HA559)  was flown by an operational conversion unit, flying near the Chinese border in the early 50s.  Skins are adapted from the Tempest Mk V template by Alex Voicu. All skins are 1024.  Hope you enjoy them.   
UPDATE 7/16/19: All skins have been consolidated into a zip file with two folders - one generic; one with IAF/PAF markings.  Includes several skins not previously posted. Place in "TempestFBMkII" skin folder.

Very nice! Thanks!

Absolutely gorgeous dona, thank you very much indeed, greatly appreciated.

Is there a possibilty you could do uncoded and blank versions please?

The skins I already have in my skins folder seem to have mapping issues so they must have been for a earlier version of the aircraft.


Take care.

Wishing you all the very best, Pete.

Beautiful skins Dona, thanks very much for sharing

[SAS~Malone]

very nice looking skins, thanks!

[dona]

Thanks for the positive replies.  I will be happy to update the first post with a couple of generics in the next day or so. There is still some slight mapping issue which was beyond my ability to correct on either side of the fuselage that shows-up as an angular slight change in color aft of the exhaust plate. Beyond that, the template seems to work pretty well.

Those are some nice looking Tempests! Thanks for your good work. The Tempest is one of my favorite aircraft and these skins are really well done. They make a nice addition!

[Ta183Huckebein]

In case anyone was wondering, these skins also work on the stock Tempest Mk.V, so those less confident in adding new aircraft can still enjoy these.

Thank you very much for adding the generic and blanks dona, greatly appreciated.


Wishing you all the very best, Pete.

How do you add these ones ?
I have the correct skin file to put them but they don't apear in game...

I have installed plenty of skins and I never have such a problem. Is there a special procedure with your skins dona ?

[Vampire_pilot]

skin folder is "TempestFBMkII"

They all work completely normal in BAT

[John_Marston]

That's the folder I used.
I already have a skin inside and it works. Only dona's ones aren't visible ingame.
I tried to rename them without result.
Sorry if it is a stupid question but what is BAT ?
