Info needed: Wonky Star and Camoflage Paint

[Bruce Parker (RIP)]

It might make your life easier to know the cam patterns were in principle and not to be duplicated the same on every vehicle, so some some artistic license is possible. This is quite different that aircraft where the cam pattern was applied the same on ever Spitfire, Lancaster etc. using a uniform mask.

Just be weary of artist's impressions and their assigned colours to wartime imagery. For example, should the arm of service marking for The Cape Breton Highlands be brown and not black?

Thanks Ed, can anyone else shed any light on Cape Breton AoS flash colour (brown or black)?

Cheers,

Paul

I believe, as per the photograph posted in this thread, that 74 on brown was the AoS assigned to The Cape Breton Highlanders up to May 1942. It was changed to 62 on green in May 1944.

I though we were talking about the crooked star period?
