F-80C Shooting Star

Hi All,
I just finished revamping one of my old textures for Massimo Taccoli's F-80C.  If there is interest I'll package it up and upload it.  I'll also include Kelticheart's exhaust effects. (I don't think he'll mind, but I'll ask anyway).  This one depicts the "Dorothy L/Panther Queen", 49-653, 16th FIS, 51st FIW, out of Suwon AB, Spring 1951.  Its an older model, but still fun to fly.
Have fun,

The first version was excellent but I'm certainly up for this one. Is the difference in the bare metal? I always thought this was a plane with very few vices. Thanks Bob! 8-)

Mike,
Its the "same" one as before.  Re-textured and a small tweak on the air file and dp.  Using Kelti's exhaust effects, it makes a nice package.  I could never get anything but smoke to work so, his effects make up for my lack of prowess in that area.  If there's enough interest, I'll re-do some of the skins, using the baremetal, I did in the past. 
Massimo's F-80 still flies well and is a stable platform for ordinance.  Maybe we can breathe some new life into the old girl.

Hi All,
OK, this is it.  Just waiting to hear from Kelti about his effects and then I'll package up the whole damn thing and get it uploaded.  It will be a complete aircraft as it will be easier to do it that way rather than do it in pieces.  I may do one or two more skins, just don't know of what or when.  Here's one more shot of the final product.
Have fun,
