Gentlemen,
Thank you both for your responses.
I'm going to have to check with other members of the restoration group with regards to which campaign needs to be represented.
I may have to bump this post after I get more info from the people I'm working with.
Regards,
Matt

My son was working at the RHR museum last summer and probably will again this year. I think we can fix you up...

Mark... re read my first post.... all I was suggesting was that if Matt wanted a rediculous in depth detailed reply the forum i recommended would be good... there are many many members on here who are also members there ?!

the first sentence i posted "As fantastic as this site is, and its the best on the web i might add"

sorry if I offended you that was not my intention, we rarely discuss markings in detail on this forum (carrier forum) where as on the forum I recommended there has been a lot of discussion and research into the subject for which people have made errors displaying the wrong markings for wrong periods and theatres.

am I forgiven ?

Such a naughty boy, directing a relatively new MLU member away to another forum . . .

Eric,
Thanks for the info. That's a big help. If there's any reference source you can think of where I could find photos of an appropriately marked RHC carrier, that would be great. I've found clear specifications for the unit # on canadiansoldiers.com, but I need specs and a reference image to work from for the leaf on blue field marking.
Most images I've seen of carriers have the markings on the front fenders or on the armour plate between the front wheels. Would we be safe in marking the rear fenders similarly?
Regards,
Matt
