True for planes but for GVs it's a different story especially the Ostwind. The Tiger Tank probably has the most hard copy documentation available.

(block pattern -- green and tan can be switched for each other)

We have those already in AH. There are other patterns with greys, with stripes, hell even some with yellow noses and overspraying, etc. I've got some scans from a book (from Gatt) and I'll be using them to make a skin. However these are not available through an online search, for the most part.
