Don't see what? Silly white star and registration numbers incorrectly applied to a NATO painted truck?

His truck, he can do what he wants, the star is NOT SILLY, it represents the USA, I am sure a nato painted truck has had the star painted on while still in service, as far as the numbers goes, I have seen numbers applied everywhere.

I am fairly certain that the US military went away from applying the white stars when the MERDC 4 color camo pattern came into use and continued with the current 3 color camo pattern. As this thread mentions, David Doyle's book on military vehicles has a section on markings that can be referenced to be certain. I have had trucks where the white star was painted over and was still faintly visible, but I have never seen a 4 color or 3 color truck with white stars in service. With that said, I agree with you...he can do what he wants. If the guy likes the white star, more power to him. But, I don't think it is "correct" from an application perspective.

Ron, you have your pet peeves and I have mine, I'm not saying the National Symbol itself is silly, I am saying total disregard for military regulations and accuracy on the part of a military vehicle collectir hobbiest is. Only thing worse would be an invasion circle added as well.

I have had to rattlecan paint all over the truck to stop corrosion but not close to the hood, bumpers, or door markings, i.e. star

I have made no changes to the markings, it is the same as one I got it years ago. This post I made was just about chalk on the door as I was happy it is ready to work again. I had lots of stuff to fix.

Gee I thought getting it running good with all new brakes would be enough for you guys......... beer break now.

Star may not be correct but everyone that see it go by in a parade love it.
