Hi, and welcome to the party zone :D

First I must say that those models are really forgiving. Even if you make mistake, you can always diguise it as battle damage, rust, or just filth.

As for historical accuracy... I personally did not research any paint schemes at first, but later on I also started playing flames of war ("Tanks" big brother with soldiers, field guns, vehicles and stuff) and kinda regreted it, because it actually is historical game. But if you plan to stick with only Tanks, sou can paint your tanks with any scheme you like. I saw pink germans, panzers with "Girls und Panzer" decals, some crazy brits with camo made from national flag and more. :D

As for simplicity, I use basecoat for my models in somewhat similar color I want them to be. So Army green Army painter spray for US and soviets and Skeleton bone Army painter spray for germans and UK.

I´m not as much as painter as I´m enthusiast, but even without high level of motorical skill,those bad boys look great.

As for some of photos, here are some of my americans:


and some german:
