Does anyone know of any alternative skins for these two planes?

Both fantastic models complete with damage textures, breaking parts and full animations and healthy frame rates but I've searched high and low for some alternative skins and I can't find any

Does anyone know of any alternative skins for these two planes? If not then would someone fancy having a go at making some /cheekiness

Just fancy a bit of a change and the D9 one isn't really my cup of tea
 
Ian,

The 1% crew normally took an already made aeroplane and then tweaked its FM and DP to more closely fly like the manual or textbook.

I'm not sure, but the 1% Folke Wolfs might be VB planes. If that's the case, a search of the larger sim sites should turn up a few skins that will work. You might also check the archive here for Sopwithcameleon's textures for the Dora.
 
I've had a look around the archive with nothing coming up. I've also looked high and low for skins for the 190A but there doesn't seem to be anything

Some further snooping though and I discovered that the 1% Dora seems to be based on a CFS3 model (or at least there are skins for it in the cfs3 format, it could be a cfs2 model converted for cfs3)

Anyway after a bit of tweaking (mainly cutting and pasting) I've managed to convert one of the CFS3 skins to CFS2

I also stumbled on the easy way to make damage textures whilst doing it (Isn't it bloody annoying when you get a lovely new skin then discover that the painter has just included the original damage texture so your plane changes colour when it gets shot up!)
 
Nice work on the conversion.

If you would like a lot, and I mean A LOT of skins for a Dora, try the Virtual Wings FW 190D series of fighters. There are a dozen or more skins available for it. While it is a bit dated (last entry at the site is 2003) it is a very good plane to have in your ETO hangar.

Akemi also has a nice Dora for CFS 2 and it has a few skins available for it. Unfortunately, my link to Akemi's site no longer works. Perhaps someone else has a current link to the site.
