Hi Erwin,

Good to see you back here!

As for camouflage patterns, I would opt for a nice Italian theatre scheme, introduced in April 1943, which used bold patterns of black, or SCC 7 (a dark olive green), over a base of SCC 5 "Light Mud", plus an air recognition roundel on the roof. Buy Mr. Starmer´s book Sicily and Italy 1943-1945 for contemporary camouflage schemes and colour paint chips so you can have the correct colours mixed up.

Hope this helps,
Hanno

Speaking of new pics, I recently found this one on the net.

I like the truck, but the backdrop even better!

Great photo!!!

But it looks to me like the Do-24 is in need of some TLC...

Would like to know the background to this picture though....

Now that I have seen the photo the windshield frame was made up until to 1968 for the Dodge power wagon and into the early to mid seventies for the Fargo (Power wagon export model)....... all prone to rust badly in the bottom half....... repros have been tried but the many folds of the frame sheet metal would require a large investment in special multi stage roller dies.... best to find a good used one.....

Some specialty shop... in Connecticut.... Robert or Mitchel..... catered exclusively to Dodge truck collectors..... Phil Waterman or others may know who I mean....

Good luck.
