Hey, all.
Long story short I was recently contracted to paint a Churchill tank (the real thing!) with unit and ID numbers. Is there something out there that has the offical painting dimensions, locations of the serial numbers, bridge limits marking, etc, for the British army. I know the USA has all sort of regulations/guides for such a thing, but I'm a bit stumped on where to look for the these. It's a 1944 flamethrower version.
Any help would be appreciated!

As it's a real vehicle, and a relatively rare, specialised version, it might be worth getting in touch with the Tank Museum, Bovington, Dorset, England.
There web-site will show contact details, and the staff are very helpful concerning genuine research, probably more so with a British tank being restored in the USA.

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. Jonathan Holt from the Tank Museum emailed me back with loads if intell. Evidently my questions ,ironically, make him doubt the accuracy of their Crocodile marking. The project continues on...after the IS-2 and SdZk 222...!
