I find that when I have a vehicle with painted and unpainted portions, a coat of spray clear is often enough to blend everything together.

Well every nation used captured vehicles especially trucks & IIRC Ford trucks were made in Germany prior & during WWII .

Indeed so, ZuluPaul! They were also made in France, Belgium and Czechoslovakia. When Ford built a new plant in Germany, Russia bought the old one lock, stock and chairs and moved it to Russia. Ford made great sturdy and reliable trucks for Europe but when it came the ruggedness in Africa, Canadian built Chevys were found to be more suitable.

Thank you Dear Editor.

Yes, ZP, and I do have a few captured vehicles in my collection.

Yes, American auto makers have been world wide for about 100 years.
