Coastal Command b-17 camo

Hi all

For a painting project I am trying to locate an image showing the design/layout of the green and grey camo on the top surfaces of the Coastal Command B-17s. I’ve tried the usual googling to no avail.
Could any kind person assist please?

TIA

Steve

Coastal Command’s B-17s were covered in a three part article in Air Enthusiast in 2005. Numbers 116 to 118. Plenty of photos.

One of the UK model magazines ran an excellent article on early RAF B-17 colours, with lots of great research.
Ah, found it, and it’s 90 Sqn, Bomber Command. Well, having looked, here’s the reference anyway!
