The "Canada Decal" - sizes?

[Mike Gurr]

If it can wait to the weekend I will measure the one on my Carrier which is still original.

Thanks for the input!

I’m asking because Kevin Goodwin asked:

“I have found a company that can reproduce the Canada Lend Lease circular decals, in a water slide format, I have currently asked for a cost on a 4” size smaller sizes could be produced also, is there any interest for these in this group?”

Mike, could you make a picture of its placement and measure the diameter?

Thanks!

Will do Hanno, though it will be next Saturday before I can get there.

Hanno,
The decal on my Carrier is 3" diameter. From the centre of the decal to the rear edge of the armour is 36" and centre to top of the side amour 12". Although the Carrier has been painted green over the original brown it seems that the original decal has always been painted around.

Mike, thanks for posting these details. Great to see the original decal was preserved!

Now we need to look for more pics of the size & placement of these decals so Kevin can sell a bunch of them

Did all Canadian vehicles carry them? I know the 1945 Windsor I used to own had a pair.
