Hello

I guess i missed out responding at some point.oops

Thanks for the reminder Terry and welcome to the M151A2 world.

I do not remember any painting or mechanical work being done at our Unit.
Everything was done at the Secteur de L'est Service Battalion located at St Hubert. The pool vehicles, which we used a great deal of were left on the runway. All of these were handpainted rather than sprayed.

We had one Command Post 5/4 ton, one passenger van and a M151A2. Sometimes we had a 5/4 ton troop carrier and a MLVW but i think these were pool vehicles.

The paint seems to follow the pattern somewhat on a blown up version of the photo. Hard to see due to glare.

Attached is mine, which was originally in the three colour paint pattern. It is very faded and you can see the fading on the rollcage MLU mount where the cover protected it.

Mine was never Zeibart treated. No holes/plugs or plate.

There was a mod for the wooden box rear seat. This was to add more storage space. Mine had it as the wire was removed from the seat bottom and there are holes where the box was bolted to the floor.

Thanks
Eric
