Fairey Albacore Repaints by UncleTgt
These are a series of repaints for Baldy's Fairey Albacore for CFS 2.
This version is as follows:-
36 Squadron RAF
Approximation of one of the few Albacore's in use by 36 squadron RAF during the desperate months of DEC '41 - FEB '42. Codes are fictitious - but as Albacores were new to the squadron, I find it difficult to belive they wouldn't have been painted up with code letters.
Thanks to
Kelticheart for the prop - really improves the look of the a/c in flight Hewman100 for the info on 415 Squadron RCAF codes & serials. Baldy for fixing the rudder movement on his mdl & allowing me to upload with these repaints. This mdl file has the air scoop under the engine coded for duck egg blue - the night repaints have a different mdl file with the air scoop coded for dark grey. If you mix & match your skins without swapping the mdls, you may see some stange effects around this air scoop. Not a game breaker, just looks odd from certain angles. I've also added an alternative dp file (tailgunner toned down), & a try at a better airfile - at least using this one you can take off fully loaded! I've aliased the sound.cfg file to the D3A1 Val, as I think Lawdog's soundfiles for the Kinsei 44 1075hp radial engine are as close a match as any to what the Taurus engine may have sounded like.
