Raptorattacker Posted November 15, 2017 Author Posted November 15, 2017 @afergusonFerg @109driverGuys, it SHOULD work now. If it don't please let me know and I'll sort it out again.
afergusonFerg Posted November 17, 2017 Posted November 17, 2017 Sorry Mate, I'm trying the link from your 20th October post, and still having no luck. Is there another way?
Raptorattacker Posted November 17, 2017 Author Posted November 17, 2017 Sorry Mate, I'm trying the link from your 20th October post, and still having no luck. Is there another way? Try again from the link on the skin post. I just tried it and it works for me... as ever, if it don't then just shout me up and I'll try and sort something else out...
afergusonFerg Posted November 22, 2017 Posted November 22, 2017 Thanks mate, my apologies for not replying earlier, my computer has thrown a tanty and is in dry dock. Looking forward to trying again
Raptorattacker Posted November 22, 2017 Author Posted November 22, 2017 Good stuff. Good luck with the 'puter!!
afergusonFerg Posted December 1, 2017 Posted December 1, 2017 Gottim this time. Many thanks old fella, just up the road from us, in Aussie terms, just a couple of hours by car, the Temora air museum has a Mk 9 in these colours, and a friend is one of the Rated pilots. So this skin has a special meaning. Thanks again for your wonderful work.

A friend one of the rated Pilots as well?? That's ace, makes me feel all warm inside!! Enjoy and DON'T scratch the paintwork!!
ROCKET_KNUT Posted December 24, 2017 Posted December 24, 2017 Does anybody want a Spitfire? Yeah I know, stupid question... Okay, here we go. Based on ICDP´s fantastic Spitfire template I did this, a sort of factory fresh, shiny, bright "look-at-me-skin" for the Spitfire pilot who doesn´t take it too seriously. It is completely fictional-just-for-the-fun-of-it. The crew chief enjoyed it very much so don´t scratch the paintwork...

Raptorattacker Posted January 1, 2018 Author Posted January 1, 2018 Please one skin for me ,from No.64 SH*C ,N3231 for me.(1940) Any pictures?
Raptorattacker Posted January 1, 2018 Author Posted January 1, 2018 I'll sort it out in the next couple of days @Vukac. Where did you find this particular picture? It would be nice for me to know who the pilot was and any other history that you may have? I've just been searching and can't find any other pictures OR details on this bird and I do like to have at least a little bit of info on the ones I do, just for my own interest really... Don't worry if you haven't got anything though...
Raptorattacker Posted January 2, 2018 Author Posted January 2, 2018 @VukacThe skin is in your inbox mate!
Raptorattacker Posted January 6, 2018 Author Posted January 6, 2018 @VukacOoooh! Now DOESN'T she look good, doing what she was meant to do??!!
616Sqn_Johnny-Red Posted January 27, 2018 Posted January 27, 2018 (edited) Portuguese Spitfire VB Pack: 6 Historical Skins In late 1943 Britain delivered a number of refurbished Mk I Spitfires to Portugal. Though this offering may seem rather paltry, it should be remembered that Portugal was not a combatant nation. In 1943 demand for Spitfires overseas completely outstripped supply. The Mk I's were followed post-war by deliveries of the Mk V variant. Although aged by north European standards, these machines were thoroughly reconditioned with several aircraft appearing to show replacement parts taken from Mk IX stocks, including some six-point exhaust stubbs and pointed rudders. Compared to the armaments of Spain, these were more than sufficient to meet Portugal's defence needs. The spitfire remained in service in Portugal into the 1950's.

All skins carry original 19 Squadron Spitfire VB serial numbers, but it was not possible to match tactical letters to serials, which instead are representative rather than aircraft specific: Download Here Many thanks to IDCP for the original 4k template.

Trooper117 Posted February 10, 2018 Posted February 10, 2018 (edited) Great stuff mate! Where is QV-T? (pretty please, lol) Edited February 10, 2018 by Trooper117
616Sqn_Johnny-Red Posted February 10, 2018 Posted February 10, 2018 Thank you As for a certain QV-T, It's in the post mate (I'll PM you)
Trooper117 Posted February 12, 2018 Posted February 12, 2018 Just to say thanks to JR for his efforts in making QV-T for me, he did a lovely job... I had just shot down a 110 and was feeling pleased with myself, when his Leader 'did a lovely job' and bounced me! That will teach me... made me jump out of my bloody seat!... Made it home for tea and toast though
7./KG51_Baumbach Posted February 12, 2018 Posted February 12, 2018 Excellent work on the Spit skins Johnny,thank you very much
616Sqn_Johnny-Red Posted February 12, 2018 Posted February 12, 2018 (edited) Thank you for your kind words. I've been a bit too preoccupied to be very productive this last year or so, but for as long as the ceiling holds up on it's own it's good to be back doing what I enjoy I have an RAF 616 Sqn Chanel Front for Spitfire VB 6-pack (still rerquiring sources for the last 2 planes) in progress (and hopfully out very soon) and a Chanel Front Army Cooperation Command 613 Sqn Tomahawk 6-pack (for use on the P-40). It would be lovely to skin 613 Sqn with their Mustang I's calling in Beaufighter strikes, but I expect that will have to wait a LONG time... I'm hoping campaign builders and virtual squadrons will apppreciate the potential of unit-specific aircraft sets (and groups of 6 planes). If anyone has any specific requirements for a Spitfire skin, or better still suggestions for an historic skin pack, PM me JR Edited February 12, 2018 by Johnny-Red 1

BoB will at least have the P-51, even if it aint the early model! It's the wait though, the accursed wait!! Keep up the good stuff J-R!
19RAF_MJDixon Posted February 13, 2018 Posted February 13, 2018 Nice work with the 19 Squadron skins, they look great.
Diggun Posted March 30, 2018 Posted March 30, 2018 Hi chaps, I have absolutely no artistic skill whatsoever, but I wonder if I might put in a request for a skin. Being a rugged and manly type, I like to strafe in style. Would one of you talented lot perhaps consider doing a recce pink spit? They are amazing. I know this is a IX, but they did exist as Vb's too... 1 1
616Sqn_Johnny-Red Posted March 30, 2018 Posted March 30, 2018 (edited) As a point of interest, there was a partially de-fanged and suped-up fighter recon variant of the Spitfire VB; the semi-officially designated Mark XIII: IIRC It was a VB re-engined with the Merlin 32 (18lb boosted). Unlike the LF variants of the V which gave their best round 6000", I think it was rated for maximum output at round 2000". It retained its .303's but sacrifced the cannon. I think there was a conversion contract for about 30 or 40 of them specifically for low level work. I'm not sure whether they removed the cannon blisters from the wings, or for that matter clipped the tips, but it should have been lovelly and fast low down, and maybe a little lighter lighter than the VB (depending on fuel load and cameras).

VBF-12_Stick-95 Posted April 1, 2018 Posted April 1, 2018 Moderator, can this thread please be pinned with the other skin posts? There isn't one for the Spitfire. 2
Raptorattacker Posted July 24, 2018 Author Posted July 24, 2018 (edited) The skin is for the Supermarine Spitfire IXe and is based on a MkVIII variant of the 'Grey Nurse' 457 Squadron of the RAAF. A58-602/RG-V was flown by Wing Commander R.H. 'Bobby' Gibbes, Wing Leader No.80 Wing Sattler Airstrip, December 1944. EDIT!! I realised that the '2' was missing from the serial in the template so it has now been rectified. Apologies to any downloaders! The skin and 4k .n File can be downloaded HERE Enormous thanks to @ICDP for the Template work!! Edited July 24, 2018 by Raptorattacker 2 8
