Republic F-105D fictional 'Desert Storm'

File Description:
This is a repaint of the Alphasim F-105D Thunderchief to represent a fictional RAF Thunderchief as it might have appeared (like the Buccaneer and Victor) in its last days of service during Desert Storm. The Thud would have been a plausible addition to the RAF's inventory during the mid-1960's as a stop-gap low-level supersonic fighter-bomber until the arrival of the TSR.2, and would have been well suited, with the right electronics suite and munitions, to the operations of Desert Storm. But failure of the TSR.2 programme would leave the RAF having to soldier on for at least 2 decades with an increasingly obsolescent and ageing fleet until the Tornado programme was fully geared up. Textures for both FS9 and FSX are included.
