I'm really glad I found it, it's a much better reference than any kits box art

Excellent site! I've added this to my favorites. Sites like this (free resources ) are really indispensable to military modelers.

Thanks for the link Connor. Even if you are only starting out in painting figures its way better to use real reference. Box art doesnŽt really ... and shouldnŽt ... count as reference. I know artists like Ron Volstad put a lot of work into the art and they are a good start, but its hard to beat the real thing. There is no real excuses today either ... 5 mins on the net and youŽll find all the resources you need.

Thanks Conor,
Straight into favourites! I stumbled across this site some time ago, then couldn't remember where it was, excellent reference.
