Pink Tank
Warning: Contents May Be Humorous! 
During my Tiger and King Tiger builds, my S.O. and I would have frequent discussions on whatever I was working on, in particular tank paint schemes. These discussions usually went something like this:
S.O.: Whatcha doing?
Me: Trying to figure out what color I should paint my tank.
S.O.: You should paint it pink.
Me: I'm not going to paint it pink. Tanks are not painted pink. Tanks are painted camoflage.
S.O.: I think you need to paint it pink.
Me: I'm not painting it pink!
S.O.: It would look good pink...
Me: I'm not painting it pink! Where's the frosty adult beverages?
... Repeat 2859 times...
Well, since I wanted to continue with my past, current and future builds in peace, I decided to get her a tank of her own and paint it as she wished. She opted for a T-34/85, mostly because it looked "fast".
I've made no mechanical or electronic changes to it at this time; only paint. All patterns and colors are SWMBO approved... Even have a crew member, too!

RE: Pink Tank
You know, I was actualy thinking about if anyone has a pink tank ("the wifes tank") since I have noticed that many of you guys are married or having a girlfriend. I say better she has a pink tank that she like than not liking your tanks at all
Talking about pink, I know that SAS painted the landrovers pink in the 90s when they were in the desert

RE: Pink Tank
Sorry about that Pete.. Fortunately for my wallet, she likes the look of the T-34 better than the Panther.

RE: Pink Tank
You mean this one http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:P...20050326_2.jpg
The Brits had a thing for pink camo. Has anyone here heard of [link=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mountbatten_pink]Mountbattan Pink[/link], a naval camouflage invented by Lord Mountbattan to better conceal the destroyers in his flotilla. I would have hated to serve on one of those ships - can you imagine the jokes one would hear in the local pubs??!! Not to mention the inevitable brawls that would follow!
