- Anybody got camouflage pattern pictures of the D-15 with basic color sand?
Apart from those on the older D-15 thread two years ago? Good lettering examples, badges etc? - And: i need one GOOD windshield frame, mine are almost gone... My restoration will be ready this year. Erwin |

Good to see you back here! As for camouflage patterns, I would opt for a nice Italian theatre scheme, introduced in April 1943, which used bold patterns of black, or SCC 7 (a dark olive green), over a base of SCC 5 "Light Mud", plus an air recognition roundel on the roof. Buy Mr. Starmer´s book Sicily and Italy 1943-1945 for contemporary camouflage schemes and colour paint chips so you can have the correct colours mixed up. Hope this helps, Hanno

Speaking of new pics, I recently found this one on the net.
I like the truck, but the backdrop even better! H.

But it looks to me like the Do-24 is in need of some TLC... Would like to know the background to this picture though.... |

Now convinced.....
Now that I have seen the photo the windshield frame was made up until to 1968 for the Dodge power wagon and into the early to mid seventies for the Fargo (Power wagon export model)....... all prone to rust badly in the bottom half....... repros have been tried but the many folds of the frame sheet metal would require a large investment in special multi stage roller dies.... best to find a good used one.....
Some specialty shop... in Connecticut.... Robert or Mitchel..... catered exclusively to Dodge truck collectors..... Phil Waterman or others may know who I mean.... Good luck. Bob

Camo D15
Very nice picture! Thanks Les.
Looking fwd to any camo pictures. And: Hanno has placed a few pics years ago showing D15s in Sicily with the Roundel on the cab. Is there any picture with the roundel on the bonnet? Like the US white star? Thank you for any PICTURE on PAINTING of a light stone D15:-) Cheers,E |

Nulli Secundus - not seconds????
Hi Les,
In Australia most WW2 army battalions had a 'nick name' for their battalion. One of these was the 2nd/2nd AIF battalion that a few of its members came from around my home region. The nick name of the 2/2 was "nulli secundus" which was a Latin/ Greek word for second to none. On the picture the word is written 'secundus' and has a white dot proceeding and following the letters. Looking at the chap standing on the left you can see a white dot the same and the start of a letter, just, to the left of his leg. Just betting nulli secundus was written on it as a 'piss take' for the old dodge being 'second to none' other truck. I think a British battalion, maybe guards, used the same name as well. |

Hi Erwin,
Great to see your D15 restored! It must have been a tremendous amout of work; well done! As for camouflage patterns, as said earlier I would opt for a nice Italian theatre scheme, introduced in April 1943, which used bold patterns of black, or SCC 7 (a dark olive green), over a base of SCC 5 "Light Mud", plus an air recognition roundel on the roof. Buy Mr. Starmer's books for contemporary camouflage schemes and colour paint chips so you can have the correct colours mixed up. Perhaps except for the odd mistake, you will not find trucks with roundels painted on the bonnet. Go for one on the roof as intended. Hope this helps, Hanno Quote:

Thank you Hanno
for the roundel info. Your answers are always precise!!!!!!!!!!!!:-)))
Sorry for yesterday evening! :-(( Just contacted Mike Starmer and ordererd the Sicily/Italy book. Anyway: I still appreciate ANY ORIGINAL PHOTOS of WARTIME CAMO PATTERN on a D-15. Also MARKINGS - military police or royal air force would be my favourite. Cheers, Erwin |

Well, here is one of those exceptions to the rule! Would the D15 in the background be a naughty truck as well?
