You do not have please some quality photos camouflage for zuikaku from the battle for Leyte Gulf? Each source shows something else. Do you think this camouflage matches reality?

PomboCZ when you tag pictures, you only need to tag them with the IMG tag and not both IMG and URL. (Pro-tip)

I don't know if I understand well. You want to say, that the camouflage schema has changed over time? Yet model is not the correct - supposedly it is the scheme of the battle of Leyte Gulf, but according to photo does not match reality.

Gentlemen -

Unless absolutely necessary, don't use pictures from video games as serious references. Looks for period photos and yard plans if at all possible. ;)
