This skinpack includes 11 skins for both in-game versions of the Seafire Mk.III, representing several units from three countries at different time periods :


Seafire Mk.III PR256, 'Merry Widow' as folwn by Sub Lt. Richard H. Reynolds, 864 NAS onboard HMS Indefatigable, Okinawa, April 1945. Reynolds shot down three Zero kamikazes attacking the indefatigable on 1 April 1945, bringing his tally to 5 and making him the only Seafire Ace in the Royal Navy :



Seafire Mk.III NN212, as flown by Sub-Lt. G. J.Murphy of 887 NAS onboard HMS Indefatigable, when he shot down two Zeros over Odaki Bay, Japan, on 15 August 1945 :



Seafire Mk.III PP979, as flown by S/Lt. F. Logie (NZ) of 807 NAS onboard HMS Hunter, Indian Ocean, on 26 June 1945 :



Seafire Mk.III PR240, pilot unknown, of 880 NAS onboard HMS Implacable, Truk Atoll, 1945 :



Seafire Mk.III NN300, Lt Cdr. George C. Baldwin, CO of 807 NAS onboard HMS Hunter, Singapore, September 1945. This aircraft was Baldwin's personnal mount, which he had stripped of its camouflage and re-painted with black identification markings. Baldwin flew this aircraft on 16 May 1945 when he and his wingman damaged a pair of Ki-43s. Baldwin is credited with the first confirmed Seafire kill, which he scored in 1942 :



Seafire Mk. III NN621, as flown by Lt Cdr. R. M. Crosley, CO of 880 NAS onboard HMS Implacable, Japan, August 1945. Crosley became CO of 880 NAS shortly after the Okinawa operations and led the squadron during their operations against the Japanese Mainland in the Summer of 1945. Crosley flew NN621 on a number of 'Ramrods' missions and used it to claim his final two kills - two moored seaplanes - in late July :



Seafire F.Mk.III PR145 coded '54.S-14' of the French Aéronavale, location and unit unknown, probably circa 1948 or the early 50s :



Seafire F.Mk.III PP972 of Flotille 1F of the French Aéronavale, Hyères, 1948 :



Seafire F.Mk.III Serial unknown, coded 1F_12 of Flotille 1F of the French Aéronavale, 1948 :



Seafire F.Mk.III Serial unknown, coded 1F_22 of Flotille 1F of the French Aéronavale, 1948 :



Seafire L.Mk.III n°149 (serial PX948) of n°1(F)Sqn Irish Air Corps, Ireland, January 1947 :



Each skin comes in three version :
-A fully marked skin
-A 'generic' skin with full roundels and nationality markings
-A 'blank' version with tail flashes when appropriate, for use with DGen or default markings.
