One comment if I may; I built a model of the DW-K Spitfire (610, County of Chester Squadron) as an Airfix kit as a teenager. I seem to recall that the serial number for DW-K should be N3029....??

Edit: I was right... see here:-

There was a later aircraft given DW-K with serial number X4067, but I think that your serial number is incorrect.....

Hi,

Thanks for the info, I made this skin based on this:
http://www.markstyling.com/spitfiresmkl_ll_10.htm

Looks like the profile is wrong then.

I'll correct it to N3029. Who was it flown by?

OK, updated the first post. Based on 617's link I made a 610 sqn skinpact that contains 6 skins, plus there's another new one:

Alan Wright, 92 sqn "QJ-S"

OK I give in, where do I find the "1cSoftClub folder"? It does not come up on my machine.
I put the skins in the CoD paint schemes folder but it just overlays them on top of the default skins??????

Some more information and a correction on my part.

It appears that Airfix got it wrong, in that N3029 was originally with 66 Squadron and eventually was attached to No. 61 OTU Squadron. It may have been a simple typo error that it ended up as 610.

DW-K was attached to several airframes as below.

DW-K serial number N3289 and was flown by P/O John Kerr Wilson when 610 Squadron was based at Biggin Hill, and DW-K was shot down and the pilot killed in N3289 on 25.9.1940 over Dunkirk.

DW-K, serial number X4067 piloted by Sgt S.J. Arnfield served at Biggin Hill and destroyed one aircraft before the Battle of Britain and two Bf 109Es on 18th of August 1940. On 24th August 1940, at 08:50hrs, Arnfield was shot down by a Bf109 of JG51 off Ramsgate.

Spitfire DW-K P9495 was written off after damage sustained in a fight with a ME 109 on 12th August 1940. I'm not sure who was the pilot of P9495.

Spitfire X4102 DW-K was flown by P/O D.M. Gray...August 24, 1940. It was shot down on this day and the pilot was wounded.

It gets confusing, as the squadron insignia DW-K was attached to more than one airframe. The ground crews must have been busy with the paint!!

If you look here,

Select paint schemes\skins

and away you go.
Remember to substitute "Paul" for your "name/whatever in the C:\Users\ ........ \ Documents

What program do you need to modify skins?

[Friendly_flyer]

Any graphic program will do, reallly. Even MS paint. Photoshop is a mainstay for skinners, but there's a free one called GIMP wich has all the relevant functions.

And they don't work offline in quick missions or single missions either.

Honestly I don't know why they even have a selection for them as they cannot be used.

The GUI is a masterpiece of obfuscation, in the classic Russian manner.

I will download your skins, but not until they fix the ability to use skins, which is very annoying
can only use them in fmb
