Canvas for SCC2 vehicles with MTP46a pattern disruptive colouring

[simon king]

Thanks to Richard Farrant , I have now found a brown canvas perfectly suitable for mid war vehicles painted SCC2 overall. I have assumed that the black uppersurfaces on canvas tilts are painted on with suitable canvas paint but am I right with this - or were those uppersurfaces made from precoloured black canvas?

 

Any ideas before I order a set for the MWR

 

Thanks

As far as I know they were painted with the disruptive SCC1A or SCC14 dark colours, I don't remember 100% but I think that SCC1A is a very very dark brown, almost black and SCC14 is black.

Thanks Alastair

 

that was always my understanding as well but I remember seeing a photo of the inside of a truck which seemed to have a black canvas roof on the inside so it set me thinking and doubting myself. Thought I had better just check rather than assume anything.

I don't know if this will help but these are photos I found on the web when looking for pictures to camo my CMP. I think from these and others, the brown canvas was just painted over with black. I assume that as the assembly of CMP's destined for Europe was completed in Britain, these pictures were taken in Slough.
