Very nice HB, I like the yellow numbers with the tricolour camo.

So do I Mr Hugill, Brendon (North Brisbane RC Tank Club)has done a scintillating job on these turret numbers. No way I could have pulled this off.
He did the figures I have, and he frankly makes it look easy.
Sure, stencils were used, but they are "one-hit-wonders" and cannot be reused after each spray :O
Pretty tough gig to get 'B' letters that look right, he did that too. :clap:

Some conjecture about the possible colour of the markings for this unit, but looking at the hue of the markings in B&W pics, plus the period - likely variations of in-field application which this unit DID have to do, the yellow is plausible.
I now have to face the facts that turret numbers & figures seem to somehow complete a Tank.................and this is the only one I have with them both :problem:

I still have to blend them in, but that will be a simple thing, and the natural dust of running at the club day on the 30th will add the finishing touch.
Now, that bucket.............. ;)

Herman the tank is fantastic mate and the yellow letter and numbers look great against the tri colour background. A lovely build. :thumbup:

Looks the goods with the yellow numbers, boss. How come the stencils are single-use only? Are they self-adhesive or something?

Yes mate, great having the letter option, but self adhesive type.
At $25 from Bulgaria I was honestly just happy to see them, and its worth it just to have these markings on.
