1) Create a folder inside the AH2/skins folder called spit12 (if you look at the skins files last spit one is spit11, always use the next number up)
2) Copy the files from the zip into there.

Will be available offline only.

Won't be available in any online parts of AH2, only way is to submit it to HT then go through the validation process.
If approved, it gets built into a future skinpack.

OK after look at both picks .

New AH models are most definitely better than you know who's.

TY kind Sir.

I could point out a few inaccuracies in 'brand X'

1) Roundel red color is wrong, its the 1941 onwards duller red used by the RAF. Prior to this they used a brighter red, as shown on mine.

2) Looks like it is on a Spit Vb or Vc, look at the cannon bulges on the wings.

3) Sdn codes were usually Med Sea Grey, not white. Changed to "Sky Type S" in mid 41 when the camo went to grey/green and the roundels changed.

Only thing I can say for definate - The Sky blue (not "Sky Type S") tailband puts it after Nov/Dec 1940, so it might be a Spit IIb which entered service earlier. Still think it's a Vb though.

It was busy in Aug 1940 while with 609 sqn -

14th - Sgt Feary shot down a JU88
15th - Plt Off Ostazewski shot down an ME110
16th - Damaged in a taxiing accident.

Actually you could just ask Kev to submit it -- he knows how and he made the skin. I'm sure he wouldn't mind doing it.
