Too interesting Mike.
May be I'm not so good educated in questions of a shipement, but you noted CKD. I know only PartlyKD. What this "C" means? And what is the second color of British standard camouflage green? I'm in interest of Mack trucks mostly and red about Coronado Tan color for vehicles with destination of Australia. Vlad. |

Hi Vlad,
CKD = Complete Knock Down, ie boxes with the major unit assemblies packed inside. Interesting you have a ref for 'Coronado Tan': perhaps that equates to the Khaki Brownish colour found on some CMPs, too? Will have to look into that further. My post was, of course, a broad generalisation: there were exceptions. Mike C |

My mistake: insert PKD in place of CKD in my post.
At least a proportion of CMPs arriving in Oz were certainly CKD (Ford chassis arrived in 'packs of 5', for example). But Hanno is correct: most others arrived as PKDs by the definition he has provided, and assembled by local companies under Aust Govt contract. Lanes Motors, for example, were one of several awarded assembly contracts for jeeps. Mike C |

Thank you for lection.
History of my own country conteins most facts of WW2 from Russian front. Lend Lease questions were not popularised too in times of Soviet Union. Although I'm interesting WW2 vehicles for only last 2 years since I have one. |

Hi Bob, I just came across this info about paint colours, was reading thru and spotted that you had painted a carrier, around about how much paint is required to paint a carrier?
Thanks, Lew |

Hi Lew - according to 1943 Regs. six pints (@ 3.3lts) of base colour were required. To be safe I would obtain 2 x 4lts.
