    I like the European because they were doing subdued long before the rest of the army got into it. Plus not many collectors do Cold War edge of WWIII stuff so doing your truck that way will make it different. Of course some dipstick will tell you your markings are wrong...
    I say go Cold War Germany!

    Thanks for your opinion. I agree, and the original plan was for the European marking. That truck was literally mine whereas the truck in Blanding, UT was kinda community property and didn't get the attention that it should have.

    As for someone telling me that the markings are wrong? I have proof. I drove it. I have pictures for reference.

    I painted it (in Germany) at night in the motor pool. We had an E-7 (SGT Farrar (AKA "Squeaky) who wanted to know where I got the OD paint, since it was scarce. I did a midnight requisition in one of the other batteries, ("B" Battery I think) out of a 55 gallon drum). I told him, Sarge, I can't tell you all of my secrets!
