Tönz ◊ 2008-11-19 21:29	The movie was made in Iceland, which has almost no military.
Ingo ◊ 2008-11-19 21:34	But isn't it painted in NATO-olive? Also mirror-house, badge, door-handle and so on are looking like painted over in matt-olive. Unusual for civil cars and trucks. Yes, the girl looks not much like a soldier, too, but couldn't it be a re-imported former army-truck? If yes, of what army? The German Bundeswehr didn't had such trucks, as I remember, no Mercedes LP at all.
Tönz ◊ 2008-11-19 21:49	The paintwork appears rather black than green to me. But I haven't a clue, what's the bodywork for. Maybe home delivery of frozen food? The girl works at the filling station, IIRC.
Ingo ◊ 2008-11-19 23:16	Hmm, it's not looking like a cooling-box. No fridge-radiator on the top and the lids didn't have the typical locks. And have you seen the brackets on the roof for lifting up the coachwork? And IMHO the colour is matt-olive, not black.
