Default T-16 color

Juan,
I guess since my name is coming up all over the place here, I better throw my two cents in .
First of all, the color I used is WW2 OD lusterless 34087, and the brand of paint used is Aervoe Pacific Co. It is a Brand of paint sold here in the States, but is the standard Mil-spec color. From all the research I have done, this was the standard color of Allied vehicles in 1944. But who am I to say what the "correct" color is! I deal in WW2 NOS military vehicle parts, and I have seen dozens of different shades of OD green on different parts. I don't think there is an absolutely correct OD color. Every lot was a little different in those days I'm sure.
Concerning the bracket on the left side of the gunners position, mounted on the side armor. That is part of the 2 inch mortar shock mount used on Universal carriers. Yous is missing the rubber shock mount and the upper mortar mount. I had these reproduced from an original last year. The only problem is finding the correct 2 inch mortar for the mount. Universal carriers were issued a special mortar with a different type of base that mounted in the bracket.
I have lots of spare parts available for the T-16. I think most of my list is up on the web site Hanno listed above.
Thanks Rod Shaver (Not Mike!)
