Is there any reason that it wouldn't be accepted if one were to be skinned?
I understand that they were mostly used aboard larger ships, but they still had them and are historically accurate, nonetheless :)

Should be fine I would think.

I was thinking the same thing. My grandfather says that they had one aboard his ship (USS Monongahela AO-42) and that he used to drive the "old man" around on it aboard ship and when they had the chance to go ashore :aok

When it's all said & done how many jeeps can you prove were in combat? Most I would say were not it may get a little questionable if you tried to pass this one off.

I guess you could argue that it did see service :headscratch: Just not combat service.

Well, although I don't have a picture of it, I was going to some info from the next best source :)

That used to look like this guy...

that earned 10 Battle Stars...

while spending almost 4 years in the South Pacific on this guy :D

While I'm sure the jeep on his ship wasn't used specifically DURING the combat, I'm certain that it was present while those battle stars were being earned. :)
In all reality, I doubt that there is any evidence left of any jeeps that were used IN actual combat :rofl

Great pics. :aok

Great pics indeed!

Very cool Von, thanks for sharing! :aok

I'm still hinting for a good British skin for the M3. I'm not sure of the jeep is even worth doing. :D
-
wasnt some jeeps used by the commando's in the desert painted pink? or was it another vehicle.

I would think they were used at navy bases all through the pacific, and all of those were war zones. Why wouldn't it be allowed?

Follow-Me Jeeps were used on airfields, the formations would follow them out to the flight line before take off.

No, I'm not obsessed with WW2 Jeeps!!!

The Brits were the ones that really put the Jeep to great use, if you haven't seen these I would like to introduce you to the British SAS Jeeps.
Nothin but combat for these guys! These were used for hit and run tactics in Africa and saw some use in Belgium I believe. Harassing German forces and dragging around small howitzers. Using those tactics a small force of well trained SAS men could harass much larger forces keeping them busy.

Double Vickers for the passenger, one for the driver, loaded down with ammo and gas, and they removed anything that was considered dead weight (like most of the grill)

Oh, and btw.. the Navy Jeeps were used in combat. Often they would be deployed to be used as spotting units for artillery or forward scouts with the landing forces.

US Navy jeeps were painted in 3 different colors
- Navy Gray
- Forest Green
- Navy Blue
Navy gray paint scheme was used on jeeps, trucks and other tactical vehicles. Forest Green paint scheme was used on USMC jeeps. Navy blue was used on staff and administrative vehicles.

Hmmm, how many jeeps were attacked by aircraft or artillery or even tanks?? I suppose that could count as combat service...since
roughly 640,000 of them were produced during the war, I think "squadron" service can be safely established :D

I wont disagree with you. :aok
Just that we do have people that want proof beyond any doubt that a vehicle was in a combat or it's not acceptable.

Well, what is the definition of "in combat"?
