Both skinning and changing skins can be quite frustrating in War Thunder as the in-game models keep replaced by newer models. As the admin, I wasted a fair amount of time trying to make sure skinners get the latest template available on this site.

Before downloading do look out for model update release date (if any) as a lot of old skins are not compatible to your current vehicle.

For Aircraft, anything before 1.53 is not advice to download.

Here's the list of major change logs, both as my reference and yours.
