camoflage scheme on FOX armoured car
Hi all,
A question about camoflage; our FOX got markings from the Italy period, and painted olive drab. Will it be correct to have some kind of camoflage on it? And what kind of pattern will that be, any ideas would be greatly apreciated!!! Cheers, Stefan Leegwater |

But why not paint it like one of the Foxes in The Hague? Cheers, Hanno |

British vs Canadian
Hi Hanno,
Will the Canadian camoflage be the same as the British camoflage? If so I'll have to order these copies! Cheers, Stefan |

The Hague, 8 May 45 - they are possibly from the 4th Reconnaissance Regiment (4th Princess Louise Dragoon Guards), C.A.C. (1st Cdn Inf Div - Recce Regt). And did they use in that time camoflage? I hope we can find some answers! Cheers, Stefan |

Looking at the picture, it doesn´t seem these Foxes were camouflaged: source It would be great to see a restored Fox depicting a Fox in Holland! Cheers, Hanno |

Being a former Recce Patrolman myself, this Fox crew are doing an outstanding job by checking not only to make sure that said bar has plenty of beer on hand for the incoming troops, but also that its COLD... which usually takes one or two down range before making a decision...... .. and then one or two more, just to make sure.....

The first change to make the Fox acceptable for driving the liberation parade's in Holland, is the moving of the "Italian" front-fender boxes. The pictures showing us a nice view of orginal bins and POW cans. Next step...... the painting job. Mvg. Dirk |

4th PLDG Armd. Car Photo
Quote:
I was looking at the photo of the restored "Fox" armoured car and had the strange sense that I had seen it before. I am researching and writing a book on Sicily/Italy and more specifically a relative who was killed in action with 4 PLDG in Italy. As such, I have a copy of the regiment's history by McGill. The armoured car named "Bardia" is featured in a photo on page 131 of that book. Thought this might be of interest S.Ditner
