Hi Bruce. I think of all the jobs I'm going to do on my Hotchkiss, the one I'm looking forward to most is putting the markings on. Remember when we were kids and no matter how crap our completed Airfix kit looked, the decals ALWAYS made it look brilliant. Maybe I haven't spotted it yet, but is there a video up of the jeep getting repainted? Mine is coming to me in NATO green. Also, do you have an email address ? Many thanks....Mike
Hi Mike, i painted the Jeep to freshen it up a few months ago and strangely i cannot find the film i did, repainted 42 Olive Drab using a foam roller, you can email me at coastkid71@yahoo.co.uk Cheers Bruce
Hi Bruce, interesting technique and it works well. I was wondering whether you had ever watched Combat dealers on the Discovery channel? Worth checking out if you haven't, I think it might be available on RU-vid as well. All the best, IanP
When I was in the army back in the late 70s we would stencil the rank and names of the driver and the officer on the jeep windshield. It would flat black paint. Also do the trucks too. 😎
Good trick with the magnets! We did some stencil making and painting at college when I was an apprentice paint sprayer, bloody nightmare not letting the paint creep under the stencil ! 😅
