"no matter post some "cool" camo and get on with it"

I already have. Do you have some that rival or best the ones I posted?

I know the Germans had some pretty cool camo schemes and am sure you must have about a bazillion pictures.

Hi. I think that the Fw 190 D-9s of Jagdverband 44 can be remarcable rivals in this challenge.
This is one of my favourite liveries!

How about this dazzle camo?



Not too sure what they were thinking ... or even IF they were thinking ...

How about THIS one?



Pretty effective, I'd say.

Now THIS has always been one of my personal favorites:



Self-explanatory.

Nice choices GregP!
The first one is a so called "disruptive camouflage". It was not meant to conceal the aircraft but rather to make it less recognizable, distorching its shape. In 1930s it was ususally applied on ships, to mislead the observer in evaluating speed, direction and type. USAAF had a go on aircraft...But there is no need to say how the result was.
The following two pics are incredible!
