FSX Republic F-105D Bare Metal Textures

Republic F-105D Thunderchief bare metal liveries recreate pre-SEA camouflage jets from the 23rd, 49th, and 355th Tactical Fighter Wings, with carefully placed national markings and a crisp natural-metal finish. Designed for FSX, these textures require the Alphasim or Virtavia F-105 model and enhance both external views and the virtual cockpit ambiance.

This file contains three bare metal textures for the Alphasim/Virtavia F-105 to represent aircraft from the 23rd, 49th and 355th Tactical Fighter Wings as they appeared before the application of SEA standard camouflage from late 1965 on. By Dave Quincey.

Here are three new bare metal texture sets for the Alphasim/Virtavia Republic F-105D Thunderchief. They contain some technical inaccuracies because the model sports the turbine air scoops introduced as a result of a spate of engine fires. I've found only one photo of an F-105F from the 49th TFW with these and I've positioned the national insignia as shown in that photo, though there is no photographic evidence to suggest that any of the aircraft depicted actually appeared in this form. Still great plane though!

Unzip the three folders and follow the readme's enclosed.
