I remember some of those guys talking about having to test various paint schemes. Just tonight I found a website with many pictures from that unit. One of them shows an M-60 tank painted with a digital scheme. The poster remembered it was the only one in the squadron that had that scheme, that it wasn't superior to what they already had, and it was re-painted the next paint schedule.

You have to sort through them all, there are some interesting M-151 jeep pics also.

Do you have a little piping left to do on the wipers? My vac wipers have 2 hoses. Can't remember exactly how it's run though.

I love that color scheme!

I have redone the bumper number because it was too big - now it is too small :shock:
