Well nice to meet Commander today, and pic up some more toys....

Get home to the Girlfriend at 8pm, only to be met with " I think we should split up"

great! near 4 years down the pan, any one got a spare room?

:? :cry:

so any new on this?>

If I can get the PIG ready and painted and I can get the F***ing time off(I love my new job) I shall drive down! what the hell.. its not that far.... kinda

Happy Birthday mate! hope its a good un!

Get in contact with the LFK please sir :-D

Well with my memory.

Mk1 Pigs have had many colours, from sand if they have served in Malaya, and Camo from other fields as well as DB green.

Depending what Era and field you want to depict?

If its Northern Ireland Green olive and DB green for a MK1 poss camo, but this would have not lasted long as on a tour they would have been painted frequently due to the amount of paint bombs

A MK2 would only be in Olive green, The Stand off Kremlin turret pig would not have been camo, thats added after. Should be Olive green.

Hope this helps, MK 2 Pigs would have nothing on them, ie cam net and jerry cans and other items as this would be a fire risk. And painting a Pig Camo would be pointless as it has limited use off road.

Regards Paul

How would i find out if indeed it went to NI? would Hilton as stock have movements? or would it have sat in a yard?

Bloody liberty advertising something with a peugot 306 at the side and saying its original! the 306 started on a M reg 1995 let me see, hmm last Pig came of census 1995 and that was not one of them...

What is that on the wing? ?

Sorry if im ranting, but its unfair to sell to a user as original!

And Wilson! if you get on here complain to EBAY!!!

hmm ooh look! this is the northern ireland MT pool! but the colour picture!

ok, this is advertised as a Pic taken in NI in 1970's

I have seen this picture before. If its NI why is there a peugot 306 on the right? and where is the ram bar? hahaha
