Has anyone ever produced a thunderbirds repaint for this fine addon?

There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.
If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.
Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

FSX Acceleration!
I was wondering that a few months ago but found nothing!
I dont recall a T-Bird paint for the mighty Thud; Russel R Smith or Frank Safranek would be the two guys to contact, I know Frank was very keen on the metal finish repaints and released some wonderful work.
If there was a T-Bird paint then it would be a fictional paint, the T-Bird Thuds were 105B's, the AS F-105 is of course the later D model, quite a few differences. The team only used them for a few months after a tragic fatal crash, airframe design flaw being the culprit.

Yeap, they flew the B model. They had some significant issues with the Thud and then a fatal accident in 1964 taking the life of Capt. Gene Devlin.

Here are 3 ultra-rare photos of the F-105B in T-Bird paint.

Why lurking and not posting?

I never knew that. See, you learn something everyday here.

As above... Should a T-Bird paint actually exist then it would be fictional re: the B vs D model...
That's okay with me. After all, it's a simulator. If I can't smell the jet fuel or have my face smashed by G-forces then the least of my worries is having the slightly wrong variant painted in an incorrect but fun scheme.
That's completely trivial to me.
I would love to see a T-Bird 105... Hint, hint to any repainters... Frank? Russel?
