I was pretty sure that this was the M1010 that was deployed. I will contact him to see if we have the right truck. Gilles

If the white paint lead you to believe the vehicle in question (77626) had been deployed; well here is a photograph that I took of it in Petawawa in 1998. This one and 77625 were base emergency vehicles.

Very cool Ed thanks for posting the picture.

Any chance you could email me a copy of it?
There has been pile of paint applied to it since that picture was taken.

Now the question I have to ask is do I restore it to as delivered in tri colour camo Green Black Brown. There is Brown paint on the Vanbody behind the rear doors. The second paint job which I belive was green and black. Redo it in white as pictured Or as I got it in 383 green.

Just pick which scheme you like the best. Personally, I'd go with the tri colour. It has more of a 'military' look to it than white.

How many military vehicle owners actually have a photograph of their vehicle in military use? I think I would go with the white, most military vehicles these day are camouflaged, the white is different and documented.

Ultimately, it is your call.

I'll second that. For instance if I had photo documentation of my M38A1 being used in Cypress in a peacekeeping role for certain I would be giving it a white paintjob with the blue UN markings. As it is I still haven't decided which way I am going to go with mine when the time comes.

However like Ed said, ultimately it's your call and there is no "wrong" answer.

I vote green, or else the NATO multi-cam. Plain white is just a base vehicle, and as such leads a boring garrison life. If it had UN history, that would be different.

I suspect that under that white coat of paint lurks a layer of green or NATO cam anyway.
