Fuel drums as fuel drums or modified to carry additional kit/gear?  Looks like it has just the right amount of dust to suggest a trip to the firing butts and back to the tank park.

A beautiful tank executed beautifully!
Never trust a man who tells you that you have too many paints, for he is obviously a liar and will most likely try to deceive you again in future.

Very nicely done! :smiley:


That camo has always confused me, though, as it just looks like a big lump of dark, with nothing to break up the outline. ???

Yeah I was surprised at how little difference there was between the green and black myself while I was spraying it
