There's been a fair bit of mod work for the planes and maps of the KTO. In particular, the MiG-15 and F-86 look quite good, as do the KTO maps, but I don't know if they're actually up to TD standards.

Other planes have been modeled, but they're not as good-looking. IIRC, there's the La-9, La-11, H-16 Sioux/Bell 47, A-26 Invader, F-84 Thunderjet, F4U-4 and F4U-5 Corsair, F8F Bearcat, and F9F Panther/Tiger/Cougar which are pretty good looking except for "franken-cockpits" and the T-6 Texan and P-82 Twin Mustang which are crude "franken-planes."

But there are two huge problems with an IL2-based Korean War add on.

The first problem is that IL2 doesn't support realistic helicopter flight, which cuts out of of the unique features of the Korean War - early helicopter ops.

The second problem is the NG consent decree, which would gut the list of available U.S. naval aircraft. How are you going to have a decent Korean add-on without planes like the F7F Tigercat, F8F Bearcat, F9F Panther/Cougar and the F4U-4/-5 Corsair?
