I think we see examples of overly restored vehicles. I agree 100% with Mark H. Keep it how YOU like it. I bought my MUTT of ToooootallMike, who now runs a barrel-organ in Venice. He painted it a sort of sandy brown colour instead of the de riguer Vietnam drab. Good. I've found one pic of a bonnet showing markings from Gulf War 1. Suits me. I won't be entering it in any Gulf War displays and I don't do "dressing up" (fat and forty-nine precludes and I would look a total tosser - more than usual :nono:). I like it as it is, so I may add the markings and see how we go.
Civvy trucks are often over-restored, all shiny and perfect. Nice but unrealistic. But they look great. I like seeing vehicles in an "original" state as far as possible.
Military vehicles can look plain wrong when one has learned how these situations arise. But , actually, if you want to paint your pride and joy in a pink and grey cammo, good for you. Your cash, your paint, your time, your fun. Nuff said by me.
