Alternate aircraft skins

Found the problem with rear turrets. Several rear turrets that don't fire, don't have their barrels assigned correctly. Either the name is wrong like in the case of the Sunderland gr2 file, or the name is right, but the barrel bone is not linked to the turret and is instead stuck on the airplane body.. Humph... Not sure which which other planes are broken but I managed to fix the Sunderland and the heavy bomber. One downside is the actual barrel model seems to rotate inversely to the virtual turret and so the barrels of a rear turret are pointing at 0 degrees, I.e. back into the fuselage if the turret is shooting bullets at 180 degrees after it has overflown a sub or something... You cant really see this though when playing, but it is a bit yucky, but better than not firing at all or firing its forward turret by mistake... I have a feeling that a couple of stock planes that do have working turrets also have this problem.
