I notice the stars are gone off that NAVY plane now... I was starting to wonder!
Nice mottling texture. I never got to look too much into LOMAC skinning, in fact I only downloaded a handful of A-10 skins. Skinning for IL2 is a one step process, you can paint and save an 8 bit BMP and you're done, just drop into the folder and fly. You can even swap the texture files out while IL2 is running (I used to do that when testing skins often).
