Unfortunately, being able to skin a scheme like the one you've posted would appear to be extremely difficult, because of the way the 3d model has been texture mapped. Separate surfaces on the model appear to share the same portions of the bitmap (at least when I looked at it in Photoshop). For example: the rudders share the same sections at both the top and lower wings. This means that if you paint something on the rudder, it will also appear on the wing where it overlaps on the bitmap (and vice versa). That means skinning anything other than a single color scheme is going to be problematic - maybe impossible. Obviously the model was original mapped with just the single color yellow color scheme in mind. Ranwers did post a pic of a camo tiger moth, and maybe he can shed some light on how to skin it. The Tiger Moth is a beauty - along with the Spit 1, it's my favourite new a/c mod, but not having a workable texture for skinners is a shame - perhaps the model could be re-mapped?
