OK listers, what is the recognised protocol for 'original' looking stencils
on wartime vehicles?
If that much trouble is put into the vehicles restoration, why spoil it with
perfect stencils.
Yes, you did hear me right, SPOIL it. In the rapid and often panicked
process to get vehicles to the front or where ever, do you think that the
grunts/squaddies/jarheads etc would have done anything more than get a brass
stencil, still wet from the previous vehicle, sort of close to the right
place, then blast it with a spray gun or large stencil brush. Complete with
runs, overspray and smears/smudges.
So, for realistic and correct restoration, why not live with reality?
I would welcome any comments from veterans - THE TRUTH IS OUT THERE.
