Looking for Canadian M151A2 Pictures....

Wow....

Thank you for all of the replies. The response is nothing short of incredible. After a 15 year hiatus from MV's, its nice to come back and see so many people supporting it.

The collection of pictures is a massive help. From what I have seen so far in a couple of dozen photos, is that almost no two are exactly the same when it comes to paint, markings etc. I'd imagine at the Unit level there was some standard, but outside of that, its a mixed bag.

With regards to Mikes A2, the source for my resto, i'm going to go ahead with my plan for 22 Fd Sqn marking. If I can find anything under the paint relating to CFE, I may go that route. At the end of the Day, a Sapper is going drive a Sappers Vehicle i'm sure the retired CF members around here can understand that.

Mike and I discussed at length the number of these that were painted in the 2 Color, Black and Green Cam Pattern. My goal is to project this little rig in the most likely state it would have been in, so this may be the route i'll go.

Rob, much appreciated the info on paint. Wasn't sure about the CARC, I started in the early 90s, so I wasn't entirely sure when it came into existence. Your right about the issues with handling it, no change there even today. When I first joined we wondered what it meant and why it was stenciled on everything.

Hanno, I may approach you for assistance on getting the CFR once I have more info.

My goal is to ensure that everything that goes back into this unit originally came throught the CF supply system where at all possible. So if your sitting on A2 parts, I may be dropping you a line

Whats the best route for getting this back to bare metal? Would it be too risky to sandblast it?

Thanks again
