Hello,
Here is a nice color picture of a Tan and Black camouflaged US Army Air Force Jeep in north Africa, Tunisia.
It is a Life photo.
It would be a great paint scheme for an interesting restoration !!!
Note White Star on Blue Circle on hood, and other equipment !
Also note: The camo painted top canvas !
Very Nice !!!!!
Here is a tan jeep, likely from same USAAF unit.
Jeep appears to be Ford Script GPW.
Best Regards,
Ray

Hello,
Thanks Mark and Oz !!
They are great pictures and look like they were taken yesterday !
I know there are more out there, once I find them I will post them.
I think I remember seeing a CCKW painted like the jeeps as well.
I really like the paint scheme and stars on the jeeps, plus we have a picture of a great early 1st Armored Division Halftrack and a Sherman !
Makes them even more interesting !
Best Regards,
Ray

Also,
Note how nice and clean, and very well done the painting of the vehicles were done, and well made stars and such.
Quality and pride clearly evident in the work done by the unit !!
