Along with a few others . . .

Absolutely love the Kestrel (thanks RAZBAM). Saw all of the cool paints Hank was doing and thought I'd throw a few more into the ring. These will come with custom voice packs too.
 
Thanks guys.

These are just for starters and there should be a few more to follow. I'm working on the "Read Me" now and will upload the USN & USMC repaints on my next day off (Monday or Tuesday). The JASDF 6 Hikotai needs just a bit more work and research. There will be other JASDF paints too.

Each one will have an optional custom callsign that reflects those used for real life units.
Examples:
VF-2 = Bullet
VF-41 = Fast Eagle
VMF-231 = Shank
6 Hikotai = Laurel
Consecutive repaints will also feature these as well.

Another little feature will be voice packs and a cfg tweak so that ATC will refer to the Kestrel by type of aircraft.
Examples:
"... hold for the Convair Kestrel on final"
"... hold for the Convair FA-201 on final"
"... hold for the FA-201 Kestrel on final"
The combination choice will be yours.

I also wanted to get some feedback on doing this with the JASDF variants(?). This will require making a seperate folder for them and copying the relevant texture and cfg files over. I also took the liberty of calling it a Mistsubishi F-3A Ryuu with voice packs to match the above combination. Any thoughts or ideas?
