So... im going to be trading off my "SHurmens." ( germans with a REALY bad acent ) for a set of americans to double what i have. but im starting to look for paint scheams and camo paterens of the period.
any one got any good links?

paint scheams?
My suggestion would be to visit your local hobby shop and purchase a 1/35th scale set of World War 2 American Infantry. Tamiya would be best in my opinion. The instructions will give both the colors you need and a detailed drawing of where the color is applied to the uniform.
Countless books and websites around!
Even just putting tank winter camo schemes ww2 will bring up options.
Best book i have ever seen for how to paint vehicles is the Tank FAQ book by Andrea Miniatures
May I suggest, Osprey Books on WWII:
Try google books I've found a bunch on winter camo stuff. I just searched WWII US Winter Uniforms
