Once in the aircraft folder you should see 6 files, the files vary by new model and damaged model of the aircraft.Go to your War thunder game folder, once in the folder you should see UserSkin folder, in that folder you should see the folder named after the aircraft you picked to create skin.Click the wand and it should crate a skin template of the aircraft in the war thunder folder.Once aircraft is selected go to customization, in the customization menu you should see this.

Launch the game and once logged in to the game select an aircraft you want to create skin for.

Now, to create a skin first you need a aircraft you want to work with, for me to test it was with MiG15 as its my favorite aircraft in the game. You can select your tool of choice here: Image Editors of Choice To edit the skin of the aircraft, you need a image editing software, the basic tool is Paint in MS but for more advanced use for example Photoshop (work really well with layering) but you can use any image editing tool as long as you can save it as *.tga format.
