Thanks, fellow tankers

pattoncommander, the Alice packs I only put there to fill in an empty area, will find something better for that area, and the spare 50cal comes with the Sherman kit and I had to put it there until I found a better place for it. The markings are suppose to be South Pacific theater, does it look right?

Swathdiver, I'm to fast to be hit with your 88s and yes the stars are going to be darkened, I had mud or dirt all over them and adding the last three parts I rubbed it off by handling it, after I think it has all the dirt and blackening I will spray the dull coat to lock it all in.

Took it out for a night run with the lights on tonight and it was cool, the main (105) gun lights up the area when fired and looks great.

I do like the Tamiya Sherman and its quality, but I can take the Pershing or the Panzer III out and other then the sound quality of the Sherman, the people that watch them can't tell the difference, When I tell them the cost of the Sherman with the extras I put on it, they look at me like I'm nuts But what the heck, It's less then I can spend on the Harley

Need some Ideas for a Tamiya King Tiger, I have only started looking for a far price on one so far and it looks like Tower Hobbies might be just as cheap as Hong Kong prices and can get it in three days out of Reno[X(]
