Sorry Doc , not white - My custom 'sun faded khaki drill' - a darkened deck tan tone with white drybrush highlights .
To go with the heavily sun tanned skin of the figure ;D

Another masterful build, Blimp! Great work on the surgery to backdate to the early model, and lots of unique details to make it a proper British tank.

Love the work with the Sunshield, Blimp! The British military deception programs certainly make for some unique build opportunities. An inflatable Sherman next? ;)

Sir, you are a genius.
I'm sure it has never been done before on a 1/16 RC Sherman.
It looks very accurate.
It's original, we'll done, I love the idea and the result!
