Looking for repaint- Hurricane Hunter Keesler AFB
Jul 8th, 2010 at 4:06am
Print Post  
I was playing golf at Keesler AFB a few weeks ago and snapped off a few pictures with a non-zoom lens camera.  What they show is the current paint for the "Hurricane Hunters" is not what is found when we search for them.  The tail paint in the existing ones have "WEATHER" in a band.  These current ones have the words spelled out in black and a small red hurricane symbol between the words.

Also the paint color is very different.  The ones in use now are more blue grey and the sim version is more light grey.

I have attached 3 pictures of what is out there right now and the last one is what in on the web for HH  0966 repaints.

Any takers to bring these up the date?  Thanks.

Taken about 3 weeks ago.




Existing sim repaint for 0966 Hurricane Hunters.

Hey hey,

Okies, i'll hvae a pop at this one, good timing as i just finished another USAF one, so this one should be ready in a couple of days.

Obviously wont have any of the additional probes atached to the aircraft, hoping CS might do one of Snoopy The W2 hercules one day.

Anyway, no problem, will get some more piccies of this one, and back asap.

Good call,

sara

Hi hi, okies, just an update, just finishing the tail today, then it should be ready for download on Monday.
Re-detailed a few more bits on the J engines to match.
Will be a nice clean version of the J, little wear.

Pictures to follow later,

It should be clean.  Keesler has a drive thru plane wash system.  Keeps the salt out of the systems.

Hi again,

Okay, finished early, pictures below of the 403rd Wing "Spirit of Gulfport" Hurricane Hunter.

again, just waiting for Simviation to post the download now.

Added forward formation light to night texture, comes on with ppanel lights, unfortunatly i couldnt light the rest as the night textures arent mapped on the model at the rear (nath started a post on that subject).

okies, and now the pictures













do enjoy,

sara

That is a nice piece of work.
My only question after looking at images and painting a number of 130s is the USA flag on the starboard should have the blue field forward.

The blue is forward on the starboard side in the pictures I took at Keesler. Good catch.

No problem,

I can correct that if you like,

I just thought that would make the US Flag back to front?,
Unless it's meant to be like a real flag, so it's left / right depending which side you look at it?

Must be some history behind this if anyone knows?

Let me know what you think,

Actually just answered that myself,
Having looked back at my photo collection of differnet units,
it is meant to be like a real flag (side view dependant) with blue forward, so good catch.

I'll do a correction for the 3 USAF repaints so far and pop it on simviation.

Us crazy brits hey? lol,

I'll update when i've corrected them,

have fun now,
