White Scout Car Colours

[Mike Cecil]

The colour scheme and colours will depend upon: what period you are trying to depict; what unit it is depicted as serving with, and where they were located at the time.

The Bandiana Museum image shows a gloss finish, dark green and near-white: hardly an approved WW2 scheme!

I see in part, the original US number: do you have the Aust number for the vehicle?

Great looking example Robert. Are you painting the whole truck as it is or are you pulling it apart - (not a job for the feint hearted). Well done Warren.

Robert! What a fantastic collection. And I really like your technique and resto ideas. Yes - everything on the scout car is hernia encouraging - I can only imagine what it must be like to own a tank! I posted a while ago about my scout car...you've given me some ideas...

Great job!

Nicely done. What shade green did you end up using? As for one of your previous posts, wow you actually had found 6 or 7 parts cars for parts? seems scoutcars are pretty rare nowadays and most will not part them out

Here's the latest pic of mine... now registered and road legal - very nicely restored by a Willy Rouhalde in France.

Markings are next... have tracked down pics for most of them now, but dont want to start on that road until I have it right.

Paint - this is supposedly British SCC 15 - Dark Olive Drab.

If it's wrong... too damn late now!

We used Dark Olive Semi-Gloss, rather than matt which I was told was the closest to SCC15 - SCC15 being the British Army vehicle colour for Normandy Campaign - the idea I understand was to paint British Vehicles a similar colour to the American ones so they were less likely to be shot up!
