Hello, Im new to this site, and in fact I've only been modeling for a few months, but my question is there a good website for finding German AFV camouflage patterns? I'm somewhat confused trying to figure out colors from black+white authentic photos. Help would be appreciated.

thanks a lot

Check my postings in Armor/AFV-page 37 "More Links, and page 39 "Wow, found another one". Also try this one for German color charts for the ETO:

If you´re interested in WW2 German armor, a good source of information about camos, signals, markings, etc... is Panzer Colours from Squadron-Signal Publications by Bruce Culver.
They´re three volumes but are very usefull.
