Default Firefly Markings

All

Am getting to the stage of thinking about what markings are correct for my Firefly and where they need to go.

Intention is to mark this as 21st Canadian Armoured Regt, correct for July 44 onwards (vehicle is known to have been struck off service with GGFG in June 45)

So, my thoughts based on period photos around are:
  • Allied star in solid circle on engine deck
  • T289477 census number on side in dark blue/black
  • "51" in White on Red background for GGFG front and rear UK Driver side
  • "4th Div Formation Sign" front and rear UK Passenger side
  • Red Square on Turret Side and centre rear plate
  • Shipping data on sides (I have photo for this)
  • Tank name on sides (I have photo for this)
  • Bridge plate in yellow on front UK driver side

Is this correct please?

If not what do I need to change?

Many thanks

Tim
