Nakajima B5N2 Kate Skinpack1 by UncleTgt
This is a collection of repaints for the Nakajima B5N2 Kate by Thicko for CFS 2. I just cut & pasted the MS stock Kate texture templates to fit Thicko's mapping, & then painted some new colours & markings over the new monocolour template created.
The model has ben tweaked with a blue/green glass colour & slight changes to sheen using MDLmat. The dp file makes use of kelticheart's exhaust effects. It makes use of Allen's Japanese bombs.
The textures are: DIII-306 An aircraft from Ryujo's air group, circa August '42. The red fuselage stripes are based on examination of a wreck found on Guadalcanal island dating from this time period (see pacificwrecks.com). Most researchers had concluded Ryujo would be wearing yellow ID markings, not the red stripes found on this wreck.
EII-323 An aircraft from Zuikaku's air group, August '42.
EII-323 The same aircraft circa October '42.
DII-306 An aircraft from Junyo's air group, October '42.
To install, unzip the download to a temporary location & move/ copy files to the matching folder names inside your chosen CFS 2 install.
Thanks to: Thicko for the original aircraft. So good, even after all these years.
Kudos to MS for the undoubted quality in the Textures used on the Stock aircraft - they are such a detailed base, complete with paint chips & weathering. They must have taken an absolute age to finalize.
Allen for his DOSmdlc_2, making shine & mdl size changes possible in WIN7+.
Martin Wright for so many useful tools, in this case in particular MDLmat allowing aircraft model material transparency & colour changes.
Kelticheart for his exhaust effects, & inspiration for the propeller bitmaps.
This is freeware and subject to the usual conditions.
