Here in Perth in Western Australia we have gone into a COVID induced snap 3 day lockdown, so I was contemplating a quick build of the rather nice IBG 1:72 C15A truck. I was thinking of finishing it as a vehicle with the 1st Canadian Infantry Division in Sicily, however bit stumped over the colour. The instructions would suggest olive drab, and by all appearances US olive drab (the colour call out is for Vallejo 887). But reviewing the MAFVA website, it would more likely be SCC 2. However it would appear vehicles for the 1st Canadian Corps in UK (although it would appear strictly that that corps didnt get activated until well into the Italian campaign) were painted SCC4 (stone) with the RAF roundels on an upper surface prior to Operation Husky. There is also the possibility I guess of Light Mud. I’ve tried looking online for example photos, but of course with any of these colours a black and white photo isn’t much help. Any thoughts out there in the collective?

In the post Christmas sales I picked up the Miniart Dingo Mk II. The boxing I have has a captured example on the outside, but also has some Allied markings available as well. The one that caught my eye was a for one serving with the Royal Canadian Dragoons, mostly as it has an RAF roundel on the back. The box didn’t actually have any colour and marking diagrams included, but luckily these are available from the Miniart website. The instructions indicate that the markings are for a vehicle in the UK during spring, 1943. The colour indication is for a green overall colour - which seems unlikely to me. From a previous inquiry concerning Canadian vehicles (for a C15A truck which still resides in my stash), it would seem to me that it is more likely to be SCC4 Stone (especially with the roundel on the back). See below for the previous discussion: My understanding is that the inside of Dingos were painted the same colour as the exterior when delivered. My question is, should I paint the inside SCC2 (which is what I assume it would have been delivered as), or would it have been repainted SCC4? Also - anyone want a couple of German soldier figures 🤣
