Really like the truck,
The style and application of the over colour looks good, the base colour looks a bit pea green in the photos, but as Mike points out different lighting and surface finish can all play a role in this I note the light levels were a bit low was flash used ? that can do some really weird stuff to colours.

By way of example I give you two of the OCMP's trucks displaying our interpretation of the early paint styles namely Steve Stones C30 11 cab in what we believe to be correct for the summer of 1940 and by comparison my C15 12 cab in the 1941/42 style alongside.
We matched our colours from remaining samples that had not been exposed to light heat or oil contamination.
The problem is we all see colures slightly differently particularly shades of red and green so one mans pea green is another mans G3.
Having said that I do have a bit of a thing about trying to get the colour right........... all power to the debate
