IL2: Forgotten Battles / Pacific Fighters by Ubisoft

Serial #: PL965
Construction #: 6S/504719
Civil Registration:G-MKXI N965RF
Model: PR Mk.XI
Status: Airworthy
Last info: 2005

Spitfire PL965 is a Mk.XI Recon Spitfire and through the years it has had various paint schemes - 4 of them have been included in this skin pack.
These skins are for the above mentioned aircraft and though we don't have a MKXI Spitfire in the game the real plane closely resembles the MKVIII that we do have access to so this is what I chose to use.Since it is a Recon Spitfire, I have also faked the cameras onto the fuselage and the underside of the airframe.
In place of the reflector gunsight I have also faked the camera controls into the cockpit which can be viewed externally.

Stick this in your "SpitfireMkVIII" skin folder and you are ready to go - note that it will fit the MKVIII Clipped Wing version as well so you may as well put it in that folder too. Two versions; "Marked" and "Unmarked" versions included.

Template created by "Fly By Shooter" with elements from "Jesters Ink" and Myself.

Extensive History included in download.

Spitfire Mk.XIV Prototype JF316

Serial #: JF316
Model: Mk. XIV
610 SQN JAN.44

The prototype Mk.XIV (at least this one, for there were six built) was in fact a Mk.VIII airframe, to which the R-R Griffon 65 was mated. Later prototypes reflected the new fuselage with larger vertical stabaliser and rudder.

This skin is for the above mentioned aircraft and though we don't have a MKXIV Spitfire in the game the real plane closely resembles the MKVIII that we do have access to so this is what I chose to use. The only real difference in how it looks physically is that the real plane (having a Griffon engine) has distinctive raised elongated bulges just above the overhead valves which I have tried to fake onto the actual skin.

Stick this in your "SpitfireMkVIII" skin folder and you are ready to go - note that it will fit the MKVIIICW as well so you may as well put it in that folder too.
Standard clean marked and no marked version as well as "weathered" marked and no marked versions.

Seafire FR.45 LA485

Seafire FR.45
Unit: 771 NAS, FAA
Serial: 583/LP (LA485)

Unfortunately the above is the only information I have found on this AC and had to work from a single profile picture for this paint scheme.

This skin is for the above mentioned aircraft and though we don't have a FR.45 Seafire in the game the real plane closely resembles the Seafires that we do have so this is what I chose to use. The only real difference in how it looks physically is that the real plane (having a Griffon engine) has distinctive raised elongated bulges just above the overhead valves which I have tried to fake onto the actual skin.
The tail hook is slightly different on the real plane but no amount of "fake" skinning was going to sort that out.

Stick this in both of your "Seafire" skin folders and you are ready to go.
Four versions included, Standard clean version marked and unmarked and also a marked and unmarked weathered version.

Fairey Firefly Skinpack

I decided to try and make a Fairey Firefly skin after a comment about my previous Seafire skin (Seafire FR.45 LA485) saying that it reminded somebody of it.
A lot of "Faked" parts had to be created for these skins - some are very subtle whereas some are slightly more obvious.
There are 8 skins in total in this pack; 4 for each aircraft. There is the standard skins, weathered skins and there is also versions of the previous 2 without invasion stripes. I could have went on to included non marked versions but felt it was too much, if anyone wants a no marked version it could be arranged (note that in game markings will not work properly on these skins as they would overlap the "faked" windows on the fuselage.

Stick this in both of your "Seafire" skin folders and you are ready to go.

Template created by "Fly By Shooter" with elements from "Jesters Ink" and Myself original template was made for the MKVIII Spitfire so I have now adapted this to fit the Seafire and added to it.

Spitfire MK.XII MB882

Serial MB882
Markings EB-B
Engine Griffon IV

Spitfire XII, MB882, 41 Squadron, 1943

This skin is for the above mentioned aircraft and though we don't have a MKXII Spitfire in the game I have chosen to use the MKIX as a stand in. The real plane (having a Griffon engine) has distinctive raised elongated bulges just above the overhead valves which I have tried to fake onto the actual skin.
I have made two versions - Clipped wing and Full winged, for most accuracy (in relation to the real plane) using this skin on the clipped wing MKIXc would be best but I have included a full winged version so that it may fit the full winged IXc and also the 25lbs Spitfire (if you so desire).

This skin will also fit the IXe and no doubt Vb version (use the clipped and non clipped where appropriate) but the machine gun placement will be different on the IXe and props/machine guns/radiators will differ on the Vb but it WILL fit regardless.

Original superb Spitfire MKVb template created by "Fly by Shooter" now with various adaptions by me to fit the MKIX with panel lines etc. depicting the Griffon range of Spits. (ty FBS)

Roundels Only and No marks versions included.

History inculded in the download.

Focke-Wulf Ta-152H-0 "Black 13" Willi Reschke

By Baron von Blutwurst

Willi Reschke's Ta-152H-0. It's no different from the H-1 as far as I can tell.. It seems that in the 48 missions he flew, he had to write off 8 aircraft yet still managed 27 victories,14 of which were Heavies. He even rammed a B-24 when his guns jammed..

place the file in you IL-2/paintschemes/skins/Ta-152H-1 folder and try to save the airframe this time..

Mosquito VI E-3/HP904, 333 Norwegian Sqn, Leuchars, 1944

de Havilland Mosquito FB Mk.VI HP904, 3-E No.333 (Norwegian) Sqn. RAF Leuchars, Scotland 1944.

Camouflage colours are Extra Dark Sea Grey over Sky. Registration letters are believed to be Red with Yellow outlines. The AEAF bands around the fuselage were removed late summer or early autumn 1944, being painted over with fresh, slightly darker paint. The Norwegian flag on the nose is speculative, but it might very well have been applied.

Three skins included, E-3/HP904, one with national markings and one with tail flash only.

Many thx to Jester for the base template, FBS for weathering and internals and Hynkel for (ammended) stencils
