Hi Kimmor,KimmoR kirjoitti:Hi Richard! Can´t promise anything but I try. It´s past midnight here and I´m doing my own T-34 and I´m little drunk… friday night and vacation… you know. ;)
Ok: magazine was Mallix 3/2008. It says, that first MAZ was simple one shade of green, russian "camo", as said in Mallix. Trailers colour differs from the MAZ itself, exact shade of green is unknown but trailers were lighter and brighter than truck but in the end all MAZ were painted with finnish camo. There´s no info about reference colours you should use to paint MAZ but I think our experts in forums can give you info about this. Your model is mid version used by Finland and it´s register markings shoud be Ps 850-6 - Ps 850-9, Ps 860-6 - Ps 860-9. These were used between 1977 and 1993. Hopefully this will get your project to start. There is an finnish book about vehicles used in FAF during 1960-2000 and surely is pic´s about MAZ.
I have found a picture on www.armorama.com depicting a Finnish MAZ that has a different register Marking, which is Ps860-2. Here it is :
can be seen in this topic.
I suppose "ERIKOIS KULJETUS" means what we got here in France for heavy loaded transports on roads, "exceptional convoy" ("convoi exceptionnel" in French), can you confirm ?
I really wish I could find some more pics on the camouflage of the MAZs in Finland Army.
That's another registration number to be taken into account ! ;-)
When I start working on this project, I promise I will open a thread in here !
Cheers,
Richard
