Nah man, Im gonna do a reugular old US Army Olive Drab M47 marked for the lineage of the 185th Armor BN that I marked my M60a3 for. This will be the major armor predecessor of the 185th, the 1st of the 140th Armor in the California National Guard circa 1950s 60s. It shared the same regimental crest, the Fulmen Jacio. Prior to that in WWII they were the 540th TD battalion. I have affinity for this unit because when first joined the Guard I was in a support company for the 185th with the Fulmen Jacio RDI.

Got that 60 degree slope down and the front of the tank extended out to the correct measuremnts. Its nice being able to stop on your way home and check a couple things with a tape measure lol.
