Snooze, you lose. By the way, those decals are available in the system under NSN 7690-21-868-2606. Your tool crib should have them for installation on the current DND vehicles.

Thanks Rob. I'll add that one to the "Fasten Seat Belts" Decal demand and see what shows up

If you are ordering, then you will also want some of the 7690-21-102-0000
"DANGER Pressurized cooling system" decals. I am unsure if that will still be a valid number. I used to order them in back in the 90s.

Thanks for the great info guys!

I must admit, I have run the gammut in mvs and always figured I would never go with the modern stuff (40 years modern). How things change...

Great to have a couple knowledgeable fellows here who have dealt with this in the recent past.

Rob, what did you use for paint on your 3 colour camo?
Also, do you have details of both the corner mount and spare tire mounted antenna mounts?

The nice thing with the Cdn3 jeeps are that while the truck is only 40 years old, the design is from the early 50s. So you are getting a combination of old design and new production.

I use tremclad flat black for the black. I still had some of the flat green, and I kind of mixed some Gillespie paints to make the olive drab. I believe it was a combination of 34080 with some 34087 mixed in. I will be replicating the paint again this spring, so I'll get a better description of the formula.

I always liked the tremclad black. It was tough, and you could buy it anywhere. Unfortunately, they have changed their formulas this past summer to a water based paint, which does not lend itself well to spraying. Essentially any flat black will do. The military stuff turned gray after a couple of years.

It has been suggested to me that 34094 would be a suitable replacement for the flat green.

If you check some of my old for sale ads, there were photos of both the corner mount and the spare tire antenna mount. I seem to have exhausted my source for the corner mounts, but I do have some of the spare tire mounted brackets available if there are none in your area. On the photos of my jeep you can just see the rear corner antenna mount.

These two decals were on all the jeeps in this neck of the woods. Sorry, I don't have the NSN for the Fire warning decal, but that one may be listed in the M113 parts manuals.
