there is refrence to a gray color used on the underside of the plane, i think the body work green and the frame gray would look cool.. not total military issue.. but a sceme based on the mil colors.. maby the rising sun on the tank?
Naiveté in grownups is often charming, but when coupled with vanity, it is indistinguishable from stupidity.
Tis better to remain silent and thought a fool - than to speak up and remove all doubt.
Did ever think that maybe you've been doing it wrong all these years?

exactly what i was thinkin. that or red darts or racing stripes with a thin white pinstripe. didn't think about the gray frame though. if i remember the color right, it's a pretty awful green (not quite hunter). but it's got my vote for cool points.

hmmm, i like the bolt on the first one. don't know if it'd work on a tank though. gotta buddy with a body shop workin on gettin that paint for me. he thought it was a satin but i'm gonna try it in flat and gloss too. may be a month or so before i can fool with it though.

It could work.. scale it down.. and let it wrap around the back of the tank... and put the 'sun' up near the front of the tank.. paint the underside of the tank gray.. and maby a small line at the bottom of the side covers and tail..

yeah, i'm in the air bout the bolt. really leanin towards the rising sun on the front and one side of the tank with the rays wrapping around and the red really bright and outlined in white. then again, the darts would probably be easier. i gotta get photoshop:(

that would look cool... the white would really make the red pop... esp if you did the red in a semi-gloss and the white gloss... hmmmm gives me more ideas..
