Default CDN JEEPS PAINTED

Hello Hanno

Initially when the CDN Contract Jeeps were assembled in Great Britain they were painted camouflage in various patterns, such as the Foilage and Dapple patter. Mickey Mouse Pattern seems to be a verison of the Dapple Patter. This was painted over the initial manufacturers colour. The jeep was not repainted ecompletely just the outside surfaces.
Jeeps remaining in Canada remained in the solid manufactureres colour except for the test GP and Bantam, which were camouflage as well.

Later these vehicles were only repainted as needed.

The new or used non Canadan contract jeeps were issued in the US colour and the used ones had the hood numbers painted over.


Yes both manufacturers colours have been seen on the CDN Jeeps. Of course once in the field the colours varied depending on what was available and who mixed the paint.

Eric
