I seem to remember discussion a while back on paint schemes for the various
countries ships. Did anybody put them up on their site or does anybody have
them?

Thanks

I was pleased to see that my ESU flottila tends to match one part of the
canon, though I went for a darker green, with the WWII Soviet tank color in
mind. Ended up using an old GW Snotling green; a bit brighter, but which I
think is quite spiffy. The comments about the insignia being red is a bit
confusing, though. I thought it was gold on a field of red. Actually, I tried
doing gold star and bars, but on most ships it's so crudely done as
to be impossible to fathom. ;->=

As for the naval characters, in the FB, it's BK followed by the Cyrillic 'f',
an infinity sign bisected by a vertical line. Someone else said the ships
themselves would be BKK, as in BKK Gorshchov. I'm getting better with PIGMA
brushes, but not confident enough to try lettering.

PS. I seemed to be the only one in my little group much beyond base
black/highlight white-grey. I'm a lousy/lazy painter, but thought the
fleets should have SOME identity.
