Has any1 stumbled across South African tank unit markings during world ww2. I would really appreciate the help. Just trying to get some reference material for the next project. Thanx for the help every1. Appreciate it.
Keep well.
Whoa, thats some really specific armor there! I don’t know if they make South African WWII armor unit markings, but I would handpaint them-sorry, good luck!
Hand painted it is then. Maybe i should just go to the library and see what they got. Thanx anyway.
OK so i take no one really knows. Thanx anyway
Keep well.
I believe the South African Regiments followed the same marking system that the British did during W.W.II.
As for individual regiments, I really have no info on them.
I think Shermanfreak is on the mark here, I’m pretty sure South African vehicles would have been the same as other Commonwealth markings with additional regimental specific details.
Thanx for the help guys. So that would mean that they would be circles, triangles, squares, etc with numbers in the middle?
Keep well.
Yup, that would be my guess. The exact marking scheme of course would depend on the time period of the subject as well, and I’m sure there would have been regimental markings on the vehicles (probably on the fenders).
