Default Paint

Juan,

Your T-16 came out of the factory with a jeep green on it - only designed to last for a year before it needed a repaint. Back then the paints were not as good as they are now, not stabilized to resist the perishing affects of sunlight, thinned with whatever was availible in the field, etc. Paint it with whatever you have handy - and if it does not look good paint it again - just like in the army. I have noted as amny as 7 layers of paint on these units when I strip them down.

The Canadian colour is the English green - but these vehicles were painted in the USofA, and not resprayed prior to entering service with Canadian units.

Rear box - has an X for strength in the sheet metal. Mine was converted by the Swiss after the war, and flattened a bit when a pioneer rack was bolted on. A reproduction box may not have these ribs, but would be a handy place for your Carrier stuff.

Good luck.


Stewart
