generic Heavy Fighter and Bomber card backs based on nationality
I have found very nice generic card backs for fighter aircraft base on nationality, but are there generic nationality card backs available for heavy fighters and bombers?
I have a template for a few.
However, for WGS, there are aircraft blueprints in the background, so a generic card would be missing some of the 'color'.
See this scan of a BF 110:

A card I did up for a Forum member:
Note: I found an appropriate air force stamp, and put it on the crew area. Also, the plane type isn't identified, except by the blueprint drawing at the bottom.

Keeping the nation's insignia would be the most helpful. And I wouldn't object to having any generic aircraft blueprint left on it. Just my opinion.
What is it you are looking for, if not the blanks above? Are you looking at one each for each nation (Allied: France; UK (Commonwealth); US; and USSR. Axis: Germany; Italy; and Japan.)?Originally Posted by abovetheclouds
Note: For the US, there are, at least, three to four roundels required, as they changed as the war progressed. This would require three to four 'blank' cards, just for the US.
PS: Five, counting Operation Torch, where a yellow outline was used around the blue circle. Only used in North Africa, but it was on planes for a few months. If a plane is painted in Op Torch insignia, it should have a matching card.

I was looking for something simple. One card for each of the 7 nations. Any heavy fighter blueprint, and the most common roundel. Quick glance to know that this is a Japanese heavy fighter card. Very generic, and not too specific.
In the past, for any French heavy fighter, I would've printed out the excellent example of the Breguet card back that you included, and then I would've marked out the unit specifics.
Same applies for bomber card backs.
I'm not sure the official bomber cards have backs do they?
You are absolutely correct. They have plain white backs. That is why I asked if anyone had created generic backs for the bomber cards, or the heavy fighter cards differentiated by nationality. I found and used the generic fighter backs for all of my unofficial WGS fighter planes.
