Help for a prop head.

Can anyone help?
A friend of mine has asked me to make him a model.
He's presented me with an old Heller Illustrious.
My problem is that I have little or no knowlage of WW2 RN camouflage.
Can someone point me in the right direction so I can at least get the paint job somewhere near right? (He's lost the English translation for the instructions, I don't speak French and the box top is badly faded so no help there.)
Also the instructions show the flight deck as camoufaged, would that be right?
Any internet sites or good books to look for would be ideal, a build article would be great. (I must find someone to show me how to search the web properly)
TIA.
Paul K.

I just did a Google search for Heller Illustrious. There are many other search results that I didn't check out.

You can also try here:

Good luck.
