I've been working on a campaign for a few weeks now that is using Fabianfreds lovely map of Thailand and thought I may as well start a thread showing my slow progress thus far.

You will fly for the Royal Thai Air Force in a number of diverse aircraft types, starting with the Hawk 75A-4 and eventually flying the KI-43.

The campain will reside in the NN folder and will probably use American rank structure, need to research this so any comments welcome.

I've managed to create the thai image for the carreer screen using an image by Eugene Ipavac that came from a site dealing with Thai aircraft markings.


Up to now it is only five missions long, these will deal with the run up to the declaration of war by Thailand with French Indochina, and up to now consist of a number of patrols, the second mission seeing a clash with RAF Buffaloes along the Burma border, a sort of diplomatic incident, just to add a little action.



At the moment I am trying to find the skins to use for both sides and have collected some great work from a number of skinners, some of whom I'm trying to contact for permission to use their work. I have also been working on one of my own skins which will represent the Vought Corsair used by Thailand for which I had to make a template for from the U-2VS void, the skinners Jack of all trades.



And I have added images to VP medias supperb skinmod for both the Thai and French static aircraft.

Thailand static. Skins by Hynkel for KI-21, KI-27 and Hawk. Myself U-2VS for Corsair.



Vichy French static. Skins by Hyate for TB-3 as Farman 221 and Bf 110 as Potez 631. MS406 by Imme.



At the moment all the Thai aircraft carry the Elephant insignia, I may leave that as is even though there were three different marking variations during the periods I will cover.


I'll leave it at that for now, any comments, historical information or links to relevant skins would be appreciated.

Wishing you all the very best, Pete.
