Ford WO2

A very good friend sent me a Roy Models Ford WO2A and I found the photo below of one in RAAF service.

My Question is....Would these have been painted in Australian Colours or kept in the British colors and if in the British colours can someone tell me what the colour is please? If possible preferably a colour I can buy in modelling paint colours. I normally use Humbrol enamels but do also have Tamiya acrylics.

thanks for your help.

cheers
Cliff

Sorry Keith. Have you any idea what the colors were?

Hi Cliff

No worries!

I'd be guessing here, but I'd think it likely to be light stone.

Cliff,

I would go along with that. The letters on the door, "RAAF HQME", HQ Middle East and the fact that the letters appear to be black. The RAAF guy must have been hot in that uniform, probably newly arrived!

Thanks for the help guys. Light stone it will be, although I wonder if the light stone would be applied over the original green?

If so the vehicles interior would probably be the green rather then the light stone.

Keith any possibility of a date for that photo?

cheers
Cliff
