A simple search of this board, plus a visit to http://www.ah-skins.com would be a great place to start.

You have to edit them as they are, because they are mapped to the shape of the 3D plane. Basically you have to look at the "squished" .bmp files and figure out what will show up in which place, and then edit the bmps accordingly. Then when you test out your skin you can feel somewhat confident that part "y" will show up where it should, and part "x" will also.

I don't mean to discourage you, but I would suggest starting with a different plane. The B-17 is very difficult to skin, I wouldn't recomend anyone use that for their first skin.
