I have been digging into the whole WW2 colour story

hi Ted,

I'm trying to decide what colour to use for the RAF jeep I'm currently working on and have been reading all what's been posted here (see my posted question on http://hmvf.co.uk/forumvb/showthread.php?17110-colour-of-WW2-RAF-jeep).

First I had decided to use the RAF blue (grey) but after reading what's in this post, about regulations for colours, I thought of going for brown and dark brown. However, I've been reading this post just now: http://hmvf.co.uk/forumvb/showthread.php?5280-RAF-Blue-Jeep&highlight=RAF+blue, indicating that it would very well be possible to have seen RAF blue jeeps during WW2 as well.

As you seem to be an authority, I'd like to hear what you think about this.

Hi,

I'm currently converting my willys jeep into an RAF jeep from WW2 and would like your advise on what colour I'd best paint it.

After researching here and other places on the web, this is what I've come up with: the RAF blue I liked a lot is out of the question. Not because it wouldn't be possible (it was the pre war colour and there would have been some around during the war in that colour) but simply because there weren't any willys jeep around at that time.

So, as I don't want to go for a green/olive drab jeep, I think my options are limited to the '42 and '43 versions, being or khaki green with dark grey disruptive patern (haven't found a picture of that) or khaki brown with black disruptive partern (see picture below).

However, I've found a few pictures of colours on RAF WW2 vehicles that like somewhat but can't place in time.

So, my questions to you all:

What would be a correct colour for my vehicle and can you tell me if the two last pictures are an option as well and if yes, from they date?

I'd appreciate your help!

Can anyone tell me where I can find the Dingo register that is mentioned here? I'd like to contact a few Dingo owners ...
