Breitling emblems to what? the Breitling team? – yes of course. MK912? – not really, but if you really wanted a version with the breitling log i could shoe horn one on.
MK912 as it flew with HFL/ARCo should be uploaded this evening with a bit of luck. It will be as a Mk.IXe (Clipped). I will later upload a version how she looks today with Mr Russell as a conventional Mk.IXe with mickey mouse nose art.

What about G-BYDS? or possible Grumpy? has any body got The skin of MKIX owned by Mr Russell?
There were a few grumpys on IL2skins.com at the time. I think i have one, maybe i’ll dig it out.
As for MK912, Ed Russells lovely MkIX spitfire, well it just so happens that i skinned that exclusively for my own personal use last year. However, i may well upload it if any one wants it. I’ve got it as a clipped IXe when it was with HFL and it wouldn’t take me long to edit it with mickey mouse and wing tips to make it represent it’s current scheme in Canada.

well…
Excellent, what’s next?? 😀
Well, something i’ve been meaning to do for a long time.
Two things really:
1. Skin all UK airworthy warbirds (those that are in IL2/PF anyway) and have them in collection packs, like, the TFC pack or the RACo pack!
2. Paint four familiar aircraft in their schemes worn during a recent period. Let me see, hints… ther’s a P-40E, a Spitfire, Mustang… oh and a Corsair! That’s correct, i’ve always wanted to form a virtual Breitling Fighters Team. It’s going to happen! So… who wants to be in the team? 😉 😉 😉

Ok chaps, they’re finally here! I hope you like them.
This is currently the only link to the download site, so be one of the first to aerobat TFC’s MkIV, practice landings in Peter Vachers R4118 or see all 12 airworthy hurricanes in the same sky!
Thanks and enjoy! 😀 😀 😀 😀 😀 😀 😀 😀

Wow looking good Chris
😉 😎

Well, the time is nearly upon us…
Ok Chaps, I’ve finished ’em. It’s been tough, but i’m happy with them all now. Below is a little palette i knocked up to show you all 12 of the hurris together. Sorry the quality aint great, but i had to reduce the size dramatically to get it on here.
I should be uploading them tomorrow evening with any luck. I’m too tired now! After all it is 3am in the morning!
Well, hope u enjoy the sneak preview 😀 😀

exerllent looking skins,where are you planning to upload them too?, il2skins.com is the best site but has been down due to hosting problems wherever you put them stick a link here and i for one will download them
how about the mossie,tempest and spit mk 14 when they come out should make for some great skins 🙂
Yes, IL2skins.com is a great site, that’s where have/had all my skins uploaded to. I understand the webmaster, Sharxx, has just moved servers and the site says Version 2 coming soon. All sounds promising.
I do hope to upload them on my own webspace first to give them a trial airing so to speak, then hopefully on to IL2Skins.com when she’s online once again.
As far as the mossie, tempest and mk14 are concerned…. drooooool!!!
The Mossie model looks fantastic, and i understand it’ll be included as AI in the next patch (3.05) along with the Do-335 – hmmm 😉 Lets hope they can get the tempest and spit in too! :diablo:
