Hawker Typhoon Mk IB template by eMeL 2013 V1.1. A CS 5.1 Photoshop document. Released January 2014.

Greetings and welcome to the wonderful world of skinning!


This is a 1024 resolution template made for the Hawker Typhoon of the Il-2 Sturmovik 1946 v.4.12 + HSFX7.0 or later, plus DBW. It Will unfortunately not work with Stock Il-2 1946 4.12 (Team Daidalooooos?).  


A few words before you begin your trials with the template. 

With this template You can, by disabling and enabling certain groups, skin both the early car door version and the later bubble canopy version Typhoon.

There are two versions of exhaust stacks available. You can, by disabling and enabling certain groups, change the type to your requirements.

As an initial set, a static layer comprising the mid-war style RAF roundels is being displayed. These same roundels exists however, in three separate groups, as shape layers. Use these layers to create your own versions of roundels. The shape layer provides easy transforming options with minimum loss of clarity of the edges plus easy color change via the color picker. Once satisfied with your result you can then merge these shape layers into one normal layer and drag it to your skin folder. REMEMBER: always take a copy of the shape layers, never make changes to the original layers.

Most of the markings used by this aircraft, ID marks, bands, stripes etc. already exists in this template, also "Scheme type A" pattern camo version exists. But I encourage you to draw your own markings, use the existing markings as positional guides.

The second lowest group in the layer menu palette is named as "Your skins here". This is where you place your skin projects in order to maintain proper layer hierarchy. 

Two void files of the Typhoon will also be included in this package in case some one wishes to draw his own template.

Update Version 1.1: the hood texture bug has been fixed. Thanks for showing the way 438_Skunk!

This Template was redrawn according to information from the UV map plus Black panel lines & rivets layers provided by "Typhoon Public"-template, which is a compilation from several reknown skin artists: AIPhoenix & SAS crowd, CrazyFlak, HundertZehnGustav, Serval, an unknown kind Typhoon painter ;D, and last but not least, VPmedia. 

No part of this template was used in my own version as it would defeat my purpose to always create my own templates which has been my rule number one from the very beginning in 2007 (trust my words: the best part of skinning is template designing :)). 

I hope that with this new template you'll be able to quickly pour out new skins for one of the war winning aircraft of the second world war, the British "Cab Rank" counter part for the American Thunderbolt over Normandy: Hawker Typhoon Mk IB.
