Title: British M3 Skin's
Post by: SmokinLoon on December 02, 2012, 12:25:33 PM

I accidentally deleted a file with multiple British M3 pics in it for hopes of skinning them in the future.   :frown:

If anyone has a few British M3 pictures to throw my way I'd greatly appreciate it.  Thanks.

It'll be nice to add M-16 skins that I saw in that book.   :pray

Quick take on one of the profiles from that link, not British though. After looking at some real pictures they seem to be in their stock US green and some of them still had "USA" on the side, all that was changed was the single star to five stars.

Some great stuff there, thanks! The post-war markings seem to be almost identical apart from them having a broken circle, where as the WW2-era markings had the stars fully enclosed. My markings aren't great and need re-aligned and enlarged a little I think. Working from this profile as well as these pictures from the Italian campaign.

A very under-represented and sadly mostly forgotten about contribution to the Allied war effort!

EDIT:

Update.

I started on a British M3 skin that had the late war "Mickey mouse" black and green camouflage, but became too frustrated so I gave up.  I give the skin team a LOT of credit, most people have no clue the amount of work it takes to make a skin. 

The pattern was applied with no set pattern with the top of the vehicle painted all black as well as most of the bottom and the middle left the olive drab.  Here are a few links as to what the pattern looks like:
