Canadian 2nd Infantry Division

Hi Richard.

Here are two shots of original decals. The first one is an early war period 2nd Cnd Inf Div decal. The other is a 4th Armoured Div one but the maple leaf would be the correct shape. The 3rd picture is just to show another style of maple leaf.

As for colour, I used Tremclad dark blue. It was a very good match and looks right.

If you go for a "gold" maple leaf, don't use straight gold. Use a mix with some yellow. I always find the look a bit off if just straight gold. (just my 2cents.)

Thanks Jordan,

Have you ever seen evidence of the blue sign without the maple leaf, as suggested by Dan in the first reply? This is on an armoured car and is a painted sign, not a decal. I have shortlisted 8th Recce as a possiblity, due to the match with the blue.

Can't say I haven't see any without the maple leaf on it. Im sure it happened but the maple leaf was part of the marking. Lets just say it would be uncommon to see it without.
