The one that looks black, though I'm not sure.  It could just be very dark blue.  Though I don't think I'll skin it, when I looked at the files they seemed to be very small and of poor quality.  I'm not sure if it's just my system or if they haven't been updated.

not a lot can be done with the skin for TBM because the wings are mirrored you cannot have any markings on the wings.
the trouble is that the sbd and the tbm are both 1st generation models and have not been updated

Hopefully both will be remodeled soon.  Seems like HiTech and gang have token a break from redoing them.
