Pink Tank
 

Warning: Contents May Be Humorous! :D

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! :D

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 :D

Talking about pink, I know that SAS painted the landrovers pink in the 90s when they were in the desert ;)

really cute....now wire up "Pink Panther" theme for the driver. Brings back memories of the Pink Submarine" movie. There is a pink T-34/85 parked in London somewhere.....it was on the site a while a back.

RE: Pink Tank
 

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

Mizuinu... its a WSN T-34 that I bought about a year ago.

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! :D

See it from a positive perspective, maybe your wifes and doughters will like your hobby alot more if they can have a own pink tank :) Maybe it will lead to aproval to get another none pink tank to the collection? :P

Hey Chili, if it will get you a free ticket for your tanks then its worth it buddy. It is a nice paint job though. Something different!
