VMFA-251 Thunderbolts Skin Pack! [Updated]

This pack contains 5 VMFA-251 Thunderbolts skins, 2 CAG and 2 line skins (with editable modex) from 2001 and 2003, plus 1 bonus generic line skin from 1997.

The Thunderbolts deployed on the USS America and USS George Washington throughout the 1990s flying above Iraq in support of Operation Southern Watch. The pack contains 1 generic line livery (c. 1997) with the AB tailcode of Carrier Air Wing One during their time aboard the George Washington. Correct modex numbers are in the 200 series.

The squadron deployed on the USS Theodore Roosevelt in 2001 and flew missions in support of Operation Enduring Freedom. Included is 1 historically accurate CAG skin (with matching BuNo illuminated inside the cockpit), as well as a generic line skin (c. 2001). They sport the AB tailcode, with modex numbers in the 200 series.

In 2003 the Thunderbolts began their deployment to Al Jaber, Kuwait, returning to Iraqi skies during Operation Iraqi Freedom as part of Marine Aircraft Group Eleven. 1 highly detailed CAG livery (with matching BuNo) and another line skin (c. 2003) are also included in the pack. Their tailcode is DW, correct modex's are in the 200 series.

The liveries all include custom tan flight suits, patches, and helmets, all line skins feature editable modex numbers.
Each of the liveries also uses a custom roughmet fix that gets rid of the ugly pylon shadows baked into the default textures. You can download this fix standalone if you wish to apply it to all your other Hornet skins.
