or

are these files hard coded and unaccessible....seems a real shot in the foot if they are...

Here is a pic of what they look like on a totally black spitfire....

Hi FS~Lewis
The way I get the Panel lines and Rivets is to go to www.cliffsofdover.fr
and select the Aircraft you want i.e Me 109-E4 then select the ALL Grey Skin.
Download go to viewer and Copy/Paste into Gimp [should alredy be 2048 x 2048] then you use what used to be "Remove White" Method in il2-1946 BUT you are going to remove Grey instead.
In the link below is an excellent guide on how to do this by Robbie von Trapp.

NOTE:
Ignore Section 1 Mode>RGB [Applies to IL2 1946 ]
Go straight to Section2 "Remove the White".
And in Section 3 use Colour Picker to get the Grey then copy the HTML notation Value and paste it into the Colour to Alpha White rectangle box,this tells the Colour to Alpha what colour you want to remove from the Layer.
Now just follow the rest of the steps as shown But instead of using White as background Layer use the Grey that you Removed.
Hope this makes sense
Best Regards
