All supposedly the same colour, and that’s with modern manufacturing methods…..

Now I feel better Tim. And I liked your kermit the frog green it really made that exhaust stains stick out.

Thanks Gentlemen for the confidence builder. I’m starting to feel better now about it. I still have a few more things to do on it before upper and lower half’s of the Hulls are complete. I’m going to build the Turret next and paint and weather it to try to get it to blend in with the rest of the tank before I put the Cables on and bits. Thanks for the complements.
