I can't either :(

Not only do I want to do that, I want to post the SVG file so anyone can EDIT them...

I do not see a way to post a zip file, however.

I read somewhere that USS Essex was painted differently on each side to confuse pirates, and that she was the first to have any type of camouflage.

This reference is meant to be overall. I am...

Russians, at least those I know, tend to be very nationalistic, so I think Ares could do worse than make a Russia pak...

Just out of curiosity, why is the Russian taste for green such a fascination here?
