@CWO-Marc No problem, I just couldn’t bring myself to buy a $29.00 can of paint that would never bu used. I already had the Sakrete from a Hyphatufa planting pot I made. So there ya go. As soon as I figure out how to post pictures from my IPad to this forum I’ll update it.

@Steel:
What tanks are they currently using for Italians, Japanese?
Maybe you could paint up one of each and then see which looks better.At the moment I’d say use Japanese tanks for the Italians and British tanks for the French.
Then again, have you considered painting some US Shemans up for the British and French as well? Especially in the Pacific, the British used almost exculsively US built armor. Personally I liked the revised Sherman sculpt a little better then 1942 edition for the earlier look.
Didn’t think about Japanese tanks for Italy - good call. Yea, I’m rethinking the French units too. Deciding all that soon. Good suggestions though.

UPDATE
Soviet Union Navy
Soviet Union Subs
Soviet Union Transports
Soviet Union Destroyers
Soviet Union Cruisers
Soviet Union Carriers
Soviet Union Battleships
Soviet Union Navy - Flat Scheme
Soviet Union Navy - Disruptor Camo
Soviet Union Navy - Complete
The Soviet Navy was tough… Not much was known about their paint schemes and there isn’t much information out there as far as color pictures or blueprints. I found bits from several sources and had to fill in the gaps. The disruptor pattern was mainly used on destroyers in northern regions. I basically improvised the carrier decks but am pretty happy with the way they turned out.

I’ll probably be busy relearning Spanish and possibly painting my ‘Descent: Journeys Into the Dark’ set.

Haha, I was joking, but that’s awesome. Some Winter War Finnish troops could be cool. Maybe the Greeks too.

At most, I’ll do the same as I’m doing for the Union Jack UK and neutrals… Maybe 5-10 infantry. Nunca mas.

Ah, if only I had a camera high-res enough to do them justice, I’d show you guys my Canadians.
I painted 2 infantry and a tank for the initial setup, and I think that’ll be good for the sake of simplicity. The maple leaf is no harder than the ANZAC crown.
Just a British infantry with the Canadian roundel at the base, the tank is just a British tank in camo with the Canadian roundel on the back.
I also did a Yugoslav infantry (russian mold, painted differently with the red, white, and blue roundel at the base) and a Greek infantry (british mold with a grey uniform and a blue base with a white cross ala War At Sea Greek roundel).
I think I’ll do an Iraqi infantry next after I finish my UK units.
