IL2 Series Aircraft Skins

Carols Daddy was a P51 of the 1st Air Commando Group/10th US Army Air Force stationed in Burma in 1944. s/n ( 36113 ) also it had an individual number 18 on it as well. This p51 was actually a "A" version but seeing theres no P51a ive put it on the p51b. :)

Me 262 of 11./JG7 based at Prague-Ruzyn in 1945. This particular aircraft was the personal mount of Ubfw. Heinz Arnold.
 
Place the file in your IL-2/paintschemes/skins/Me 262A-1a folder and blow stuff up..
 
Skin by Baron von Blutwurst with the aid of a heavily modified template by Aero_Shodanjo...thanks m8

Full History of each plane included in the read me files in the download.
 
 
Spitfire TD248
 
This skin is for the above mentioned aircraft and though we don't have a MKXVI Spitfire in the game the real plane closely resembles the MKIX that we do have access to so this is what I chose to use.
I finished this a while ago and something about it was really annoying to me - the real plane has a bubble canopy (which we don't have access to in the game) so after a week or so I decided to see if I could make the skin "look" like it has a bubble canopy - it turned out reasonably well so I'm now happy to share it.
 
This skin has been built to be used for the Mk.IX varients - it should fit them all except for the clipped wings as the lower wing roundels will get cut in half if you use it on them.
Sub note: this skin may also fit the MKVb varients (not Vc) with little difference so you may as well try it in those folders as well.
 
This skin was built using Fly By Shooters awesome MKVb template which I have adapted to fit the MKIX and added a few bits and bobs of my own.
 
 
Spitfire RN201
 
This skin is for the above mentioned aircraft and though we don't have a MKXIVe Spitfire in the game the real plane closely resembles the MKVIII (CW version) 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 has a 5 bladed prop whereas we only have the use of 4 and also 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 "SpitfireMkVIIICLP" skin folder and you are ready to go - note that it will more than likely fit the standard MKVIII as well so you may as well put it in that folder too. No Markings version included.
 
Template created by "Fly By Shooter" with elements from "Jesters Ink" and Myself.
 
 
 
Note to any skinners that have ever skinned a MK.IX - think for a second how much frustration I went through to get that red line along the fuselage of the TD248 skin lol.

A6M5C Saburo Sakai. Yokosuka Kokutai Japan 1945.
 
A6M2 Zero 21 Saburo Sakai Tainan NAG Rabaul 1942
 
His score of 64 planes downed is based on his own reports, and in some of his accounts it was one or two lower. Two Japanese pilots had higher scores, also based on their own counts. (Lieut. Tetsu Iwamoto shot down more than 100 Allied planes.) The Japanese Navy policy was not to credit personal victories officially, but to subordinate the individual to the group.
On Dec. 8, 1941, the day after the attack on Pearl Harbor, he flew with his group to attack an American air base in the Philippines. He shot down an American P-40, in what was said to be the Japan's first aerial kill there. On Jan. 25, he downed an American B-17, the first Allied bomber to fall in the Pacific.
 
Sakai remains the top surviving ace of the Pacific Airwar.
