Like to see the face of your local bmw dealer when you turn up with that... 😊

Just showing up with a regular BMW 700 will make look puzzled.

But the 700 is a rather nice little car with a very potent engine 

There is a couple of very good ones for sale on MLU https://m.facebook.com/groups/MapleLeafUpForum/permalink/2702358086709212/

Thanks Lex. I believe I have stumbled across this chap on Facebook, I hand dropped him a line 👍 

If you don’t get hold of him let me know, I know where he lives  

You can also try scraping the paint, either with a flat chisel or the end of a large file. I found this much more efficient and less dirty than sanding on my Bedford. The old paint would once I applied a bit pressure start to flake off, it is of cause very manual labor task, takes some time and sanding cant be completely avoided but the result was nice and the flakes was much nicer to clean up rather than sanding dust.  

Pete do you have any problems with adhesion between the gloss black and the G3?

S.C.C. 15 would only be if its built after April-ish, as they most like would have used up existing stock of S.C.C. 2 firstly.  Here is a link to manual for painting of mechanical transport, https://www.paradata.org.uk/media/993 showing variation in the patterns and a link to https://www.mafva.org/british-vehicle-camouflage-1939-45/ a good source for the history of colour use 

So it’s a bit up to what you want to portray, If it’s early enough I would go for SCC 2

Interesting choice of border decoration, (not yet taken up by the Nazis.)

It was also used by the Carlsberg brewery until 45, and can still be seen on their old buildings 

I have not done much to my Ariel the last couple of years but found various missing parts, including a set of original mudguards, not the best condition but repairable, I got the flap for the rear guard from Egypt. 

And then this corona lock down pushed me to start working on my Ariel. 
By the looks, every bush and thread will need repair.

So I have bought what I could get from draganfly, and the rest must be fabricated or sourced else where.

The paint removal revealed SCC2 in many places and I have luckily found a good supplier in CZ https://www.facebook.com/camouflage.paints/

 

According to this Chris there are some Indian pattern wheeled surviving http://the.shadock.free.fr/Surviving_British_Rare_Armoured_Cars.pdf so a bit of good news 

It seems the remains of a White/Ruxtell 922 survives in Norway 

Would this be relevant ?

With the regards to the Australian Tiger parts, the destruction couldn't that also have been done by a Crew abandonment demolition charge?     

This might be of interest for some

I know it’s most likely not the purpose of such project, but Henry and john many of the schwimmwagen parts are directly available from Lehar in Cz http://www.leharmilitaryvehicles.cz 

johann if you thinking Pz4 have you seen the one currently being built in the US ? https://www.panzerfabrik.net/blog/categories/panzer-iv

https://www.facebook.com/camouflage.paints/ this guy makes a really spot (IMHO) on SCC No.2 and it seems quite nice to work with. 

http://www.warpaint.co.uk/  should also have one, but are not familiar with it

Six wheel staff cars where used by other countries Pre and during ww2, including the UK 
here eg. the Morris Commercial Type D,  the Praga AV, Tatra type 82, Skoda 903 and a Japanese type 93

Yes something like that 

The filler cover might be a bit to complex in its design.  If it was me I would have copied the design of the SdKfz 251 radiator filler cap, it’s a simple flat disc with a bevelled (I think it’s called that) edged. And it has two round key holes for unscrewing.  Sorry the picture is not the best. 

That is a Canadian Chevrolet C8
