Stencil kits.........who to use?

Post by JohnnyF » Thu Jun 17, 2021 9:53 am

So I’m trying to decide what markings I am going to apply to my WLA (late 1943 DOM) for depiction in Normandy/France AO. I think I am going to depict a 2 Nd armored vehicle with the 67AIR or maybe 41st not sure. Trying to do more research for a correct impression. I also plan on depicting the blue drab numbers (1” I think) on the rear lower fender but I’m still a bit confused as to how those numbers are arrived at. In any event since I’m a new comer to the forum I figure let me not “ reinvent the wheel” ........thanks JohnnyF

Hi Johnny, and welcome from another 1943 WLA owner.

Have you had a look at Johans forum http://www.theliberator.be/
You will find all the info regarding the the correct unit markings. You will also find the info regarding the blue drab/white army serial number of the bike, and lots more info on WLAs and WLCs.

Cheers,
Chris.

Let me know exactly which unit you want and what your engine number is and I’ll.post the correct markings, perhaps even with an original 2AD photo to back up my suggestions..

Cheers,
