Default More paint cans

Hello Folks

Here are some more paint cans.

Not my photos, found on the web, sorry unable to give credit to whom took them. These are CARC.

The M38A1 photo is from a RCA web page and clearly there is a lighter green, These look like they are newly painted for the parade as well.

The last photo i beleive is one of Ed Storey's photos again, but i could be wrong. I apologize if i am wrong.

It is a hand painted M100 trailer and the paint does not look like it has faded to much. Another light green.

Thanks
Eric

Eric,

When you look at virtual sea of correctly painted vehicles behind that A1, I'd be inclined to think something was wrong with the paint on it. I remember the troops painting an APC Dozer Blade at 2 CER with Canadian Tire Semi-Gloss Forest Green as the original paint was all wore away. Looked horrible.....

To me it would be like some collector seeing a photo of it with the Forest Green paint and then saying it was correct even though the lads were dead wrong to paint it like that.

As far as those trailers go, they sure do look alot like the Flat Olive Drab on the MLVW I posted up top.
