I'm voting for "having fun" rather then accuracy. While I really appreciate the research and depth of emotions that can play into these types of conversation (some of the other forums are way over the top...) - this is about having fun.
At least for me as I don't make any money from this - but spend much!

PS: As I was looking for photos to determine if I should use the Red Primer that I've been using as a base coat (yes), I found this interesting photo.
Since the Sherman tanks are always having a challenging time at DAK (I know what that comment will do!), perhaps I should copy this tank to give the Allies a hand??

Does anyone else think that White Star is awfully white? Maybe it's a PHOTOSHOP?
