Yep, 4 color MERDEC is the only other real choice for a m715 other than single color semi-gloss. M715's were phased out before NATO 3 color camo was used. Some units did paint vehicles in unauthorized patterns, but those are few and far between and without a photo to go by it would all be a...

I used the synthetic enamel reducer with my gillespie primer and it worked great. I waited overnight then to start top coating with color.

Thanks guys, PM's sent.

I was wondering if anyone had a good source on the straps that mount on the bow corners and hold the cover when rolled up. I need a full set of 10 for my deuce. I looked at several of the online vendors and no one listed them, but I know that most carry a lot more than what they list. So if...

Here are a few of my favorites out of my collection of models

My M35 and M715

The address is http://www.i2k.com/~schwarzd/. Thanks Rob, but the decals are not done through my main business at http://www.davidallenracing.com/

Sorry, I'm like Ida34, I'm the only green at our local parade and if I don't show up, then there is nowhere for the older guys to ride. The parade use to have them all marching through town to the Veterans Memorial in the town cemetery, but now most of the guys are getting up there in age and...

The place is huge, but some of the stuff is starting to get ratty there. That row of high speed tractors is all rusted out junk now. There was a decent looking sherman there when I was there 2 years ago. The 2.5 ton and 5 ton stuff wasn't to bad, it was all in one section together. The yard...

Welcome and nice looking deuce. If you need any help or anything, I'm just an hour north of you in the Silver Lake/Hart area. Make sure you get out and enjoy several of the MV show that are held around Michigan. There are several out there, the show in Clair and the show in Silver Lake...

It is a solid pice with the studs the stick off it to go through the brackets. When i broke one on mine, I drilled and tapped the crossbar for a common sized 1/4" bolt. It has held for over a year now.

I have heard that the tank in Shelby ran when parked there and that the Shelby VFW post pulled the motor. They mounted it on a trailer and use to pull it in parades and would run it and rev it up of the crowds. Now I just need to find the barn they keep that in, a little late night wrenching...

We have an M48 Patton sitting in a park in the next town over of Shelby Mi. I have often wondered if they would miss it if it came up missing one night? :lol:

As far as the cab bow goes Tim, it is not like a 715 bow. On a deuce, only the center section comes off. When you pull off the window surrounds, the corners of the bows stay with it and only the center bar comes loose.

I've run mine in the local Christmas parades like that.

I talked to a tanker who said that when he was at Camp Grailing for tank traning, they were pushing brand new never used mutts out on to the range for targets. He said they even still had all the new canvas pieces in boxes in the back, but didn't remove any of it. It would have been nice to...

I used 6 gallons of Gillespie 24087 to completely paint my deuce. That was to paint everything! I also used the paint recomendations on Army Jeep Parts http://www.armyjeepparts.com/ which are; Painting Tips: Keep it clean, take your time and enjoy yourself. Be safe and wear your respirator ...

Looking good. For some reason all I can here playing in the back of my head is the theme to the Jefferson's. "We's moving on up" Great, now go get some paint and fix that thing back up!

Was that at the Clair show? If so was it this one, because that was one nice looking MV you had there.
