Hi all:
OK! Got a work-around:
Found that Essex CV-9 only has a skin1o.tgb, skin1p.tga and skin1q.tga.
I opened the skin1o.tgb after converting to .tga and running it through ViewIMF so GIMP could read the file. I then erased the number 9 that was on an invisible portion of the skin and added the number 17. This was as far as I've gone just so as to not waste too much time. The file size changed from 4099KB down to 4097KB but previous experience showed me that that was fine and the game would pick up the skin.
Eureka! It worked! Now I should be able to use good old PhotoShop to make the rest of the changes like the camo and weathering.
Glad I got this and I hope this helps others as well.
Great days all!!
