Just Kidding fynsdad...I figure it was a test...just to see if us fledgling builders would pick up on it

...decided to go with skirts...

HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM... ....Starting to think you are strategically taking these photos at shall I say interesting angles .... just to get me to find more pictures for verification

there isn't the same apex on the mantlet...and you still don't quite have that "snoopy nose" going on ...you need the snoopy nose on the bottom of the front shield

Think the skirts are a better addition than those false sprockets

Happy Tanking Fynsdad

To be honest Frank, there is no doubt what she is right now.

HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM.................. ....No Snoopy Nose... it won't be a Chaffee


the top is fine so long the line is clear... but no nose...no Chaffee ...................

The skirts are great though
