Authentic stencilling

[45jim]

Don't forget the super accurate chalked on lines denoting the cam pattern. All exactly to the official issued documentation. And stencils so carefully measured to ensure markings were exactly centered and perpendicular to the planet. Markings were dappled on with sponges using paint from the can and touched up later with a brush if required. Runs were just wiped off with a rag.

Tools, straps and anything you could remove was removed but periscopes, lenses on lights and just the contact surface of the amu's were covered in axle grease without too much care.

Super neat stencils were only applied during a rebuild at workshop level and these were only general ones that would apply army-wide. On the 113 series that would be the drain plug reminder on the reverse of the trim vane and the CFR. Repaints would cover all that with our creative artwork.
