Default Wonky Star and Camoflage Paint

Hi Guys,

Firstly, I've heard of the wonky star story but what evidence do we have that this was official policy in the Canadian Army? I understand my 1940's truck would not of had the Allied Star if I'm to portray the Dunkirk era.

I'm also now looking at camouflage patterns, again I'm thinking early war era disruptive pattern green with black (tarmac).

Much of the information out there suggest all the upper surfaces, areas around the wheel arches and window were painted the darker colour (tarmac). But I'm not keen on all this black and I've seen period images (see below) that would suggest otherwise. I'd welcome any advice from you guys before I commit paint to metal.

Thanks in advance.

Regards,


Paul
