Hi Richard.

Here are two shots of original decals. The first one is an early war period 2nd Cnd Inf Div decal. The other is a 4th Armoured Div one but the maple leaf would be the correct shape. The 3rd picture is just to show another style of maple leaf.

As for colour, I used Tremclad dark blue. It was a very good match and looks right.

If you go for a "gold" maple leaf, don't use straight gold. Use a mix with some yellow. I always find the look a bit off if just straight gold. (just my 2cents.)
