If you're referring to Don Archer's plane "Wonderful Winnie" I don't think that a skin has been made for it for IL2. Planes from the 9th AF don't get as much attention as those from the 8th AF, because they weren't as well documented. The reason that a skin existed for it in CFS was that Col. Archer was a member of the RAF 662 online squadron for a while, flying as RAF_Yank. Anyhow, you'll need to provide pictures. At the very least, give squadron ID codes and color and location of nose, tail and wing markings, plus a decent shot of the nose art. If you've got the old CFS skin, that might be a start.

Does anyone have any good pics of the plane. I've been itching to paint something again.....

Thanks for the responses. The aircraft had red cowl rings, red/silver checkerboard on nose cowling and the I7(india 7) designation for squadron code. I will try to get the only pic we have scanned and uploaded. The CFS plane was in a computer that is dead now.
