there are plenty of places online
just pick the plane you want and search for it.

eg b25h and go trawl through the different websites.

one thing if you find some thing you like and want some one to do post a picture of it on here
with the link details to the info for it.

The more research you do for a skin the more someone will be willing to skin it for you if it is something

the scn.ru site is a good place to get inspiration, but NEVER trust their colors, and ALWAYS find multiple sources of the same craft if at all possible.

Use profiles for inspiration, but use other references to actually skin it, as much as you can.

I buy most of my books through Amazon.com. I've got a decent collection of the Osprey Luftwaffe books which are really cheap, easy to read and have some outstanding photographs.

They're a good place to start... there are bunch of them on all sorts of different subjects (not just Luftwaffe either). They're easy to ship too, they're small.

Check Amazon, I've only found one book shop that carried anything as focused on aircraft as these books and that shop is about 2 hours away..... and I bought their whole Luftwaffe stock, so they probably won't get it again.  :rofl
