YelloW M37's

[Clint Tauber]

Reviving an ancient thread, I know... But... I have been carefully removing paint on my M37CDN, and on the original factory paint I have found a yellow triangle and there is a RCAC emblem on the hood, and also a red rectangle that I am still uncovering on the other side of the hood. Also remnants of a Mobile Command decal and a Canadian flag with MANY coats of OD and 1 or two coats of camo. ANYWAY... over the original factory paint and the “A” squadron marking, the door was painted entirely yellow. With several coats of OD and camo on top. The yellow is really stretchy almost like latex house paint and you can peel large sections of it off. I haven’t attacked the rest of the truck yet, but I assume the rest of the vehicle was probably yellow at one time, too. Can’t see just the doors being yellow???

Could have been a replacement door at some point.

I don’t think it’s a replacement door. I found yellow on driver’s door this morning. The yellow is way down there, seems to be the first paint over the original factory paint. God only knows how many coats are over the yellow. It is pretty thick. Some of the paint appears to have been applied with a broom or mop.

I found yellow paint on my MKII carrier as well so it's not just M37s. Odd
