Download it and layer it over your skin in photoshop, then adjust its opacity down to about 70-80 % should do it, till you see you skin coming through, you should now have a better idea of how the panels are laid out.

Hi Doc. Use this: Panel_Finder_2048x2048.jpg (http://www.pumaszallas.hu/Private/VO101_Tom/Panel_Finder_2048x2048.jpg)
Maybe u find that areas. Just a note. In il-2 sins, sometimes only one pixes was the color, for example Bf 109 propeller color was only one little pixel :) Is here possibly like this.

Superstar, thanks Tom.:grin:

Try this

You will end up looking something like this. (though yours will be grey).

You can clearly see how the panels are laid out and can make your adjustments as need be to tidying up the fuselage, as for the cockpit you should use the panel finder that tom posted, just put it in you skins/spitfire folder and select it in FMB as the skin, make a note of the colour and part of the number that appears on the cockpit if possible and your should be able to track down on the skin where it it, as to the orientation of the cockpit thats another matter.

At least you know the cockpit is on a grey bit LOL :)

Replace one of the skins with this jpg. Better if u make screenshots, or tasking between cod and ps.
(Im didnt use under COD, just il2, but the method is same :) )

Download from french page:
click on the boxes, then click on the "Télécharger vos skins" (upper right corner of the page). After u see the list of the choosen templates, u can open or DL them.

[Doc_uk]

Well, the colour chart is no good for the frame round the cockpit, because you cant see the number, so thats no go, so i still cant find it

[Shado]

i will have look when i get home it's probably a little slither alongside one of the wings or something you could try painting different coloured lines across the skin and see if it falls on the cockpit area, long winded I know :)

If u know the color, you know the column where he may be. If turn with 90 degrees the picture, you obtain the row then. Copy all of this all picture into this square if this is not rather narrow, like this from 2-3 steps you find very tiny places :cool:

[Doc_uk]

Found it, on the color chart its pink 181-182 somewere in there

[Shado]

Your getting warmer, found at least three places on the chart, top right pink, middle green and left column pink...........Battleships anyone.

[VO101_Tom]

Found it, on the color chart its pink 181-182 somewere in there

close, close :)
Then u can put into Photoshop, to separate layers to skin and panel finder, select that square, and colour all possible place with an other colour in the skin. No need panel finder anymore.

And even though, i think ive found it, i still cant see the framework, in the template so the only way to make sure i get get it is to color both 181-182 in

[Shado]

Seriously Tom, that panel finder is a godsend, thanks for the heads up.

Ok :)

I tried to say, if you know the square number, you know its position (181-182 in this jpg (http://www.pumaszallas.hu/Private/VO101_Tom/Panel_Finder_2048x2048.jpg)right?), you can narrow it the search in Photoshop.
like this (http://www.pumaszallas.hu/Private/VO101_Tom/spitfinder01.jpg)
and this (http://www.pumaszallas.hu/Private/VO101_Tom/spitfinder02.jpg)

OR, you just paint different colors all possible areas.

I did not make it, but I am glad if it helps :grin:
