I kind of like the look of the pipe on the barrel, too bad the continuity checker didn't keep up with it, though there are a couple more scenes with the pipe, also I didn't really look at the other tanks that hard at the railroad yard, but it's just laying on the upper hull of a couple of the tanks when Clint first meets up with Oddball. I saw somewhere on this or another forum where it was stated that the tank ended up in Novi Sad painted by hippies, so of course I had to google it. I think it would fit even more now with Oddball's character. This show is loosely based on a real event, so maybe Oddball came back after the war to take care of his old warhorse tank. The 2nd picture wasn't painted as bad, so I put it in for a few more recognizable signs of the possible movie tank.

Thanks again for the pics. Would love to find out what happened to those tanks. The pics you show has the travel lock on the front. Oddballs had it on the back. Unfortunately, I don't think these are his tanks.

Hi Guys!!
Anybody over in Eastern Europe, I hope you are safe and out of harms way.

Here a few more pictures of where I am now. Been making a lot of custom items like the storage rack. It is taking a fair amount of time. Pretty close to finishing the upper hull. Now on to the turret. Little nervous of getting that wired up and operating.
best regards!
