Tom M Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 Hello to you all, I am looking to restore my Mk1* Carrier according to an early war/Italian campaign paint scheme. Can any one tell me if there was a standard size to the White/Red/White flash that was painted on early war AFVs? When was this flash introduced and when was it superseded by the allied star? Cheers, Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John F Posted May 24, 2021 Share Posted May 24, 2021 The flash was introduced in late 1941 in the Western Desert theatre, it's 18" square. The white star was used from 1944 onwards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

REME 245 Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 In Italy the flash probably carried on later than in Europe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
