Good Morning Gentlemen,
I appreciate your continued faith in me, my Friends. While I cannot change the fact that the U.S. Army used a cast dual port exhaust with a double rounded outflow exhaust back in 1945, I can work on the color and will do so once weathering commences. Happy Halloween you two. ;o)
warm regards,
Painless

Alpha,
Nothing to be sorry about. ;o) Now back to my question from yesterday, K-ration crates?, yes or no? Opinions, please. I have 4 reusable ones and the actual Tamiya markings for them for once.
regards,
Painless

I've been out and about all day but I did finish the Pershing last night at 1:00am. It was one of those things where last minute little ideas like drilling out the bore of the Commander's .45 and applying some ammo can decals went so smoothly that I was pin washing then weathering and at last reaching that point that Scalawag speaks of. Anything else would have been too much so it was finished. Apologies, I was going to get back to Alpha and you all on the 'K' ration crates before I finished the work but everything just fell into place. I'll do a Show-Off thread later this week. Pictures:
