Looking very serene, but don't spoil it with too many markings. There are many nicely restored vehicles around that end up looking like a carnival float with too many markings. This can be the owner getting carried away by adding embellishments to pay tribute to a particular unit or they may have found remnants of markings that may have been added by a previous owner who did the same or they may even be original markings which the vehicle acquired over its service life but they were not all on the vehicle at the same time.

Thanks Clive, it is going to be just mat NATO green when done. The PO had given it a camo paint job and it had unit stickers etc. but that isn't to my liking. Still plenty to do, parts to refit and doors to align but it is getting there.
