    FS595C and the Real World

    I wish there was a correlation between the FS595 color codes and the real world, but there is not. It would make it a lot easier and cheaper to match paint, especially for those overseas owners of US MVs. Our overseas enthusiasts have a similar problem with their 'standards', RAL and BS381c...

    Southern Ontairo Military Muster 2012

    Looks like I'll be working in Arner about that time (assuming no work permit or other customs problems). Maybe I'll saunter on over. Free admission with my DD214? Yeah, so I'm a cheap so-n-so. :mrgreen:

    New Member New Generator MEP-016d

    Here's a link to the TM for this series generator... http://igor.chudov.com/manuals/OtherGenerators/MEP-016B/062759.PDF I believe the 016D is the same as a 016B, except with a Yanmar instead of an Onan engine. The TM will have exploded views of the various subassemblies that should show if you...

    Deuce owners in the Northeast

    I bought my M35 from SS member Maddawg308 in VA. I think you should just make a day trip to Kublos, about 5hrs from you. You might return with a truck, or your wallet, but probably not both. http://kublossurplus.com/

    T-72 Tank Commanders Periscope Sight ?

    How about a translation of the descriptions for items 1-12?

    Infected

    Very nice....I hate you. :neutral: :mrgreen: So far it looks all original, except for the missing spare tire carrier on the drivers door. Of course more pictures will be required, inside and out. Mine...not quite so nice.

    Inserting pictures into the middle of your post

    My turn... Just a test...for your viewing pleasure. Steps to shortening the tracks of an antique snowcat: 1. Loosen track tensioner 2. Remove excess material (inline pictures) 3. Check tires while the track is off 4. Check for damaged grousers and wheel guides (centered picture)...

    Oh crud, nevermind. I just digitially enhanced the original image and came up with this...:rolleyes:

    M416-Found USMC Symbol Under Paint-Need ID

    I was thinking of the UNIS markings. This trailer is Vietnam-era. I don't know how long after WWII UNIS codes were used, but here are a couple of Korea-era Mighty Mites with the UNIS code for the 1st Marine Division. Note the location of the one on the front-left of the second Mighty Mite. You...

    M416-Found USMC Symbol Under Paint-Need ID

    How about uploading a full resolution closeup of the symbol with flash on and a macro focus setting?

    M416-Found USMC Symbol Under Paint-Need ID

    I think a half circle with flat side down is the 4th Marine Division.

    One month to the 25 annual Weare rally!!

    Some Weare 2012 pictures taken by my brother. He's ex-army, but I let him share my tent anyway. His heavy snoring probably kept the clan in the next campsite up all night. Sorry BillF. :( :rolleyes: OK, so maybe I snored a bit as well...

    DC-3??? flying over all day

    With that many passes, it probably isn't mapping. EAA AirVenture 2012 should be just about wrapped up about now, but maybe they are still giving rides? I got a ride in a Ford Tri-Motor back in the '80s and it would have passed over the same area many, many times per day.

    USAF Thiokol 601

    Due to stuck valves and bent pushrods, the 601 was a 'trailer queen' for the Weare 2012 rally. She should be in tip-top shape next week after a valve job. There are pictures of the 601 at the rally in the Weare 2012 thread, but I'll post a few here as well. Later I'll post a picture of the push...
