Whilst researching repaint info for Shessi's Heinkel He59, I stumbled across a black & white photo, then a profile painting indicating that the default texture for the Roc, depicting L3085 of No. 2 AACU (Anti Aircraft Co-operation Unit) flown by PO D.H. Clarke as Dk Green & Dk Earth was wrong. The photo clearly shows it to be still using FAA camo with a high demarkation on the fuselage sides.
So I set about using the template I had developed for my earlier set of FAA Roc repaints to depict this aircraft more accurately. The profile shows the fin as bare, as per very early war Rocs & Skuas. The b/w photo does not show the tail. I find it difficult to believe a Roc transferred to a 2nd line unit of the RAF would not have received a fin flash insignia by late September 1940 - most of the Skuas fighting in Norway had fin flashes by the end of May 1940. So I decided to depict this aircraft with a fin flash, even though the profile shows a plain sky grey vertical stabilizer.
To install, unzip the download to a temporary location & move/ copy files to the matching folder names inside your chosen CFS2 install.
Thanks to: Jed Marsh for the original aircraft, developed for use in FS2004.
JD Tinballs & Rami for uploading the converted aircraft for use in CFS2.
This is freeware and subject to the usual conditions.
