lightweight Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 I've painted my bumper ends white, but what do I paint white at the rear? Mudguards? Outside edge of the body? I was thinking bumperettes, but they need to have the unit markings on them surely? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N.O.S. Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 ...I was thinking bumperettes, but they need to have the unit markings on them surely? ...which could be in black? :-) Here's a 388th BG Chev which escaped the white bumperette treatment - but look at the huge star on the mudguard! Like I said, anything goes :angel: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lightweight Posted March 31, 2012 Author Share Posted March 31, 2012 Blimey, that 'Left Hand Drive' is in a particularly large font as well - and even the tailgate star looks unusually large for the back of the wagon. I have a jerry can mounted where that star is - I guess I'll just see what looks right to me and I won't be too far off. My lad reckons he's seen them with a vertical line down the bumperette and no unit markings, I might go for a horizontal line at the bottom of the bumperette and the marking above if it all fits in. Where the hell do you find these photo's? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N.O.S. Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 You're lucky you've got any mudguards to put a jerry can on!!! Thurleigh airfield: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lightweight Posted April 1, 2012 Author Share Posted April 1, 2012 I did run mine for a while without mudguards as they were in the back when I bought it and needed painting Looks a bit odd doesn't it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony B Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 Have a look at this. Phil's 24 hour old aquisition. 1939 12 hp Wolsey. The paint has never been touched. Still goes like a rocket though. It had been converted to run on gas at some stage with a roof bag. The fittings for the regulator etc are still attched to the inside of the roof. :-D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
