Oldmopars Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 I have an Iveco Stralis I have been building for a little bit. I keep running into a blank when it comes to the paint job. So I have been throwing around the idea of painting it OD Green. However, while I have visited the UK/Europe I know very little about the military and don't know if a truck like this would even be used. My plan is to get a 1/24 or 1/25 scale tank(rare) and maybe a 1/24 Land Rover to put on a trailer someday. Would this be totally wrong, or would this be something that is seen on the road in Europe/UK? I guess it would be more Europe then UK as this Iveco is Left hand drive.

I did a Google I don't think it would be wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldmopars Posted July 25, 2018 Author Share Posted July 25, 2018 Well, I said the heck with it and took it out and shot it with OD green. I like it so far. I will have to post some pictures in the build area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike999 Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 Now just find some Swiss license plates! The Swiss armed forces ordered a bunch of Iveco Stralis trucks in May 2017. And yep, they're painted OD green: https://www.shephardmedia.com/news/mil-log/switzerland-orders-military-trucks-iveco-dv/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldmopars Posted July 25, 2018 Author Share Posted July 25, 2018 Thanks, mine will be a Stralis 4x2. Just need to add some military stuff to the trailer when I get it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
