Hi all

I'm painting up some metal minis for gaming, and looking for some
camouflage & marking schemes to use. WW2, all periods & nations. Thing
is, I have some examples from quite a few countries, but I'd like more
for variety. I like my gaming minis to be distinct, each flight or
small group of 4 or so minis with a distinct, but relatively accurate,
paint job, so it's easier to keep track. Usually that comes down to a
different colour spinner or fuselage band - US fighters are easy to
differentiate this way, but others, notably RAF, aren't.

What I'm looking for is a website with some paint schemes. Not just
profiles, I can find loads of those, like Wings Palette. That's a
great source in general, but has very few full plan views to show me
how to paint the camo schemes. Ideally, what I want is a website with
illustrations of model instruction sheet paint schemes, with the
3-view plans and colour notes.

I'm covering a variety of nationalities in WW2, including British &
Commonwealth, German, US, Soviet, Finnish, and probably eventually
everyone else, from start to end (and beyond...) of the war.

Does anyone know of such a site? I know I could buy books on the
subject, but for a few paint schemes, it's a bit expensive!
