Skin created by HBPencil with the 2k template by 1CGS and ICDP, available from the IL-2 Sturmovik forum.

One fully marked skin of EP312 which was the personal aircraft of Wing Commander Dereck 'Bill' Kain in May 1944. Born in Wanganui, 
New Zealand in 1915, Kain joined the RAF in 1935 (later transferring to the RNZAF in October 1944) and was a veteran of the Battle of 
France, Battle of Britain and the Western Desert campaign. By 1944 his job was to keep an overview of fighter airfields in North Africa.

Please note that the real aircraft differed from the one ingame in that it had an internal armoured windscreen, an Aboukir air filter 
and individual exhaust stacks like those on the MkIX. Also note that the aircraft had been repainted, hence the slightly non-standard cammoflage 
pattern and the lack of stencils. Also, this skin is based on two photos of the aircraft in whcih there was obvious over-fill of the fuel 
tanks, resulting in the liquid stains on the fuselage ahead of the cockpit. 

Happy flying!
