F-80a "fn-022"

[Willy]

In the Warbirds Library for download now.
This was a quick in and out of the paint booth. Started it yesterday after uploading the last one.

I haven't found much info on this one. Just that it was an upgraded F-80A with the ADF cover moved to the nose and the landing lights on the nose gear like later models and it flew the 1948 Berlin Airlift with the 62FS, 56FG. Still don't get to do many A models in bare metal schemes. Most pics of A models I find are in the early pearl grey paint.

Also included a bit of lagniappe in the form of some extra "custom" shared textures that I've worked up since the release last year of the FSX native F-80.
Enjoy!

Man, Willy, your P/F-80s are some sharp looking birds. Thanks.

Thanks guys! I've pretty much got the paint kit dialed in now to where it's mostly just doing nose art and text now. I've got Ramblin'-Reck-Tew about 3/4 finished and hope to have it out soon.
