Is there some large dumping ground like back in il2s prime? M4T has a few and LockOnFiles and then it's down to searching through multiple forum posts over at the main site one plane at a time. Is that all there is?

Great allied skins here: https://www.lockonfiles.com/files/category/719-il2-battles-il-2fb-il-2aep-il-2pf-skins/ Unfortunately no historical German skins

I've had a bit of a dig around there and i'll be grabbing some of Toms P51 and P47 skins, looking for some A5, G4, D9 and 262 skins to go along with them. Are the days gone when one could spend an evening perusing and downloading skins? When i was playing Eaw and il2, it was a three beer deal organising skins for a single mission smile

I found Rafigers 190 skin site, he used to make top notch stuff for il2 as well. I just need to navigate it as it is in German.

I have a friend who is a skin fanatic, if I even hint that I might like to have a skin for a given aircraft in a given sim within 24 hours he will deludge me with links. So I rarely have to go looking myself.

If you use Paul Wilson's Campaign Generator you can.
