1941 LP1Bren Gun Carrier paint sample
Interesting thread.
My LP1 BGC was produced at Newport Workshops in 1941 and issued to a Signals unit, 4th Div in Sept 41, Balcombe Vic.
There is a near new original paint sample under the dash, with a bit of a wash/clean up; I have tried to take some pics of it for this thread for identification and comparison.
I realise that lighting, camera settings and screen resolutions will/may vary the pictures. I have included a WD-40 can and orange shirt/rag in the pics to provide contrast & comparison.
Also included is my paint stirrer which is darker and I matched that NOS sample at the paint shop, that was aimed for Dec 41 to mid 42.
This sample has not been affected by light and has not been repainted.
Interested in comments.
