That's quite a question, I don't suppose there is a simple answer that covers a unit through every theatre of the war, some middle east machine were painted in sand others were left in green or brown and allowed to fade down in the sun.
After a certain time motorcycles were only meant to have the arm of service marking, red over blue for RA with the appropriate number in white, it may be possible to work that out if you can decide on where and when you want to portray it?
Hi Rob
Thank you for your answer. It was only after reading your reply and looking back over what I had written that you are correct in saying there is no one answer. I need to put my thinking cap.
Mark.
