m38 and m38a1 paint

Post by MG777 »

Hi all i recently bought. One m38 and two m38a1.
I have two questions. What paint should i use on my m38 i have the option of 34088 or 24087? I assume for the a1 there is no question i should use the 24087.

Secondly i would like to ask whether all parts go in olive color or some parts go also in black gloss black or flat black. For example i was restoring my m715 and there the differentials go in gloss black and the chassis go in flat black?

thank you for your responses

You can go to TM9Ordnance.com and look at the paint chip 2430. This is the correct color for the jeeps between 1950 and 1957.
