Hi everyone, I have that 1934 Ford straight truck in REA colors. It has a ramp coming out of the back of it. I have a 1/43 figure pushing/pulling a dolly with a load on it. I want to know if the REA guys had uniforms like UPS does. If they did, I would assume they would be in green and if so, what shade of green? All replies will be appreciated.

I would thing the Arttista or Woodland Scenics police officer with hat looks like the poster if he was painted green.You can also dremel off any holster since you are painting him anyway. You could also paint the badge on his hat red to look like the guy in the poster. Just a thought.

Glad this question was posted. When I researched  my answer,

it dawned on me that one of my upcoming projects is to make an

REA building. I am going to use the AmeriTowne  Homestead Furniture

building and I have a variety of REA vehicals. Hadn't thought about

the figures I would use. I think the police figures will look good.

 

Thanks for great question!

Now that is a very interesting project.  Please post pictures.  

 

I agree about the police figure for the REA man.  I have another of this guy somewhere.  A little work cutting and moving arms and removing the billy club with a file, and a green uniform . . .
