Jason_Williams Posted September 22, 2015 Posted September 22, 2015 Here is where we will discuss acquiring and preparing historical skins for Russian, German and Italian units and aces that may be included in PWCG for BOS. I am looking for a "SKIN CZAR" to gather or possibly create or oversee the creation of skins for units and aces that Pat can use. Please raise your hand if you have the drive to do that for us. Jason
Luger1969 Posted September 22, 2015 Posted September 22, 2015 Hi Jason. The very nice thing is that on the german side there is a huge amount of work on skins. I know that to a certain extent this has been created up to staffel level. For example by Rook...there was also skins for veterane made by members jg3 and 51. Panzerbar also created huge skin packs for f, g and 190 if i remember. I think Silky has consolidated everything into a huge skin pack. Plus you wont find any shortages on aces skins Jg52, jg 54, jg5, ++++ kg27...etc.
Jason_Williams Posted September 22, 2015 Author Posted September 22, 2015 Great, but we need to probably re-name the files to a specific convention so Pat understands what skin is what and we can make a separate skin pack for PWCG. Otherwise things are going to get really confusing fast. I will host the skin pack. Are you volunteering? Jason
Luger1969 Posted September 22, 2015 Posted September 22, 2015 Yes i will do. Please let us also acknowledge skinners who did the work. Pm me your timeframes etc and i will give it a serious go...i love these skins know some of them by hart.

Defaults, generics (for each Gruppe wich in real was equipped with F-4/G-2/A-3) and aces. I made that specially for You, but then Loft & Co lost interest/was overwhelmed by other, more important things...
Jason_Williams Posted September 22, 2015 Author Posted September 22, 2015 Panzerbar, Well we can put them to good use in PWCG. Where can we get your skins? Jason

Jason_Williams Posted September 22, 2015 Author Posted September 22, 2015 Thanks Panzerbar. Much appreciated. Jason
216th_Peterla Posted September 22, 2015 Posted September 22, 2015 (edited) Hi all, I'll be glad to offer my help. I'm not an expert with skinning but I could prepare some templates for IL2M 1942 camo pattern, Guard and normal units.(15GvShAP, 606th ShAP, 800th ShAP...etc). Saddly most of my posted skins are 1943 or post 1943 era and they possibly cannot be used but, in case they can, just told me which ones and I can made more numerals to complete a "squadron like" couple of them. Anyways I'll make the templates and put(the PSD) it in a drop box link. I just made a quick example. The pictures feature a skin recently posted but is from 566th ShAP in 1943. Is very easy to create different numbers and add them to the template to have unlimited numbers. That is the far my skills go mates. Regards, Peter Edit: But I dunno the units that exactly take part in Stalingrad. How far historically accurate we should be? Edited September 22, 2015 by peterla

216th_Peterla Posted September 23, 2015 Posted September 23, 2015 @1./ZG1_Panzerbar, I find information regarding the 214th ShAP. I'm doing the template based in a Massimo Tessitori profile. It's a nice one with an oblique white line in the tail. How many numbers do we need? I will look for more unit profiles in a couple books I have but if you have any information detailing/showing profiles of the mentioned units just post the link here. Thanks for your help, Much appreciated.
707shap_Srbin Posted September 23, 2015 Posted September 23, 2015 For Il-2 I'll recommend You this webpage: http://avia-n-aero-ru.1gb.ru/photo.php?category_id=21&parent_id=21 Il-2's (mainly), Il-4's and DB-3's.
6./ZG26_Gielow Posted September 23, 2015 Posted September 23, 2015 I can work on The 111s skins. Someone listed KG4, 27, 51, 55 and 100. Is it all winter skins??? Does anyone know the gruppes numbers?? Books names, sites or pictures with those squads for reference please.
=38=Tatarenko Posted September 23, 2015 Posted September 23, 2015 for units on both sides please see the UNITS thread in this sub-forum. http://forum.il2sturmovik.com/topic/18376-unit-information-and-czar-pwcg/
