Too much white.... had to do some color to figure out were I am... added the fender brackets... and something I forgot to photograph the machine gun port
all in all not too bad .... few weld touch ups ... and deepen the color just a tad

Thanks Gents.... If the devil is in the detail... then this tank might just get the best of me.... because she's basically a salvage build... all the details will have to be built from scratch...the two fender braces took almost four hours to do .....This one is really going to test my memory banks...

As it went................ new photos ..
believe it or not... 9 pieces to this light...it took four hours to fabricate each part so it would work
This is the only tank that I know that uses that small size of chain hook....those took an additional four hours put it on the fender
for size comparison... ran out of M&Ms
Small area to touch up.. so I also painted the light
A long view...showing the new darkened color... think I nailed it ... it's a pretty cool color ...just like the Africa Yellow on my Panther... changes hue depending on the light source.... at times she looks brown... and at other times a yellowish brown
HAPPY TANKING GENTS
