Custom Paint Jobs

Hi everyone. I was wondering if you are able to make custom paint jobs, as this was stated in previews on a number of sites and in a few game descriptions?

Thanks in advance.

not out the box, but maybe DLC skins, or optionals, but i doubt they'll let people paint their own for authenticity.

but not yet, we'll have to wait and see what route they decide they take.

frankly id be happy with being able to add your own squadron patch and 3 letters or numbers on the side of the plane.

Ok thanks mate. I thought you would be able to design your own going by reports, but obviously not. Thanks for clearing that up.

I would have welcomed alternate liveries for some planes. But I would hate custom ones. Some people would just butcher the planes like they do with car's in games like Midnight Club, Need for Speed, etc.

Custom skins can be quite good, the best in Il2 1946 are often more historically accurate and far better looking than the default skins. However for every couple of good skins there is some idiot flying around in a day-glow pink or similar fighter, so they are a mixed blessing.

Wasn't or isn't there supposed to be some skins coming out or something? I dunno, maybe I'm just starting to imagine things?
