i was looking at the Q5A which has a good skin and since only one vietnam mig skin is in the game why not add some to china too
China definitely isnt the nation with the least skins lol id rather see the lowest 3 nations get more skins before any other nation lmao
J-7II could receive a very basic skin with barely any effort in the form of a “unpainted skin”:
(of course those red lines are the only highlights)
another one that technically it could receive is the same gray that contemporary PLAAF aircraft use:
(I’m pretty sure this is reserved for improved J-7II variants but hey its an option)
J-7E could receive this one if we could get a clearer image of the markings like the tiger, the red numbers and the tail:
Also I think you are confusing the Q-5A with Q-5 early, the Q-5 early has 2 unlockable skins(one through kills and one with golden eagles) but Q-5A has none aside from a fictional one in the market place, sadly for the Q-5A I think the best approach would be using decommissioned aircraft paint jobs, it is very hard to find schemes for the Q-5s and I’m talking about photos not renderings or drawings:
this one would look pretty good for the Q-5 the colors are faded but I’m assuming they would look similar to this Q-5 but without the dark green parts:
this one does make it look more like a small JH-7, pretty cool
this one is from a museum and the shade of green is darker than the one found in the Q-5D it would be a pretty easy skin to add into the game
a tricolor skin would be great for the game and this one shows the pattern in the wings which is the hardest part to see on pictures
MiG-9:
from a museum too, it basically is the belly blue that the MiG-9 has in game but applied to the entire aircraft, pretty easy to make I imagine
yeah finding images of skins for chinese aircraft that aren’t renders or illustrations is pretty hard, I tried to only include skins with PLAAF markings, there’s an image of a Q-5 with blue camo similar to the ones found in the J-8II and J-6A in game but I have it on my phone, I will add it later, sorry for the long comment

Both at the museum of Beijing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics, I’ve been there in April 2025 so I recognize these two and the background.

To add some more skins the H-5 could also receive the unpainted scheme with the detail of painting the bulge underneath the cockpit with the same blue in the standard skin as seen here:
This is probably the only thing to set it apart from the regular Il-28 aside from the obvious PLAAF markings
This one would be pretty cool and while the wing pattern is not visible it doesn’t look like is something too complex
J-7II could also receive these ones:
Damn J-7II has a lot of drip is a shame we don’t have the improved J-7II variants I would be so happy of seeing a variant with ballistic computer and flares
Here’s the Q-5 with the blue paint scheme that I mentioned in my previous comment:
And while looking for skins for the MiG-9 I came across this aerial view of what looks like a scrap yard and you can see a skin for J-2 and the wing pattern for the Q-5 that is on my previous comment too:
I couldn’t find anything for J-6 tbh, the most impressive one is already on the game and the rest are skins for the rest of J-6s not J-6A, I was hesitant of including this one but is the J-6 with some highlights in blue:
So yeah there are skins for Chinese jets is just that some are not interesting enough(for most people) or there’s not enough reference material but hopefully we would see more unlockable skins because a lot aircraft are in desperate need of something else than the white camo
Edit.- Added more images
