Any color you want, as long as it is brown! This looks great so far.

More great detail! Have you decided the color going on this one yet? At least brown. I'm still thinking like this:  IMG_3809 - Copy - Copy by Russel Baer, on Flickr I may change up the colors a bit, but I like that goofy French WW2 style camo. |

The more I got to thinking, the more I didn't like no return rollers on a "live" track type. I briefly considered changing to T-55 tracks but that didn't seem to work either. I ended up doing return rollers.  IMG_4239 by Russel Baer, on Flickr While I was there I did a bunch of footman's loops and added a bustle basket and tow cable. I think tools and spare tracks and I'll paint.  IMG_4240 by Russel Baer, on Flickr  IMG_4241 by Russel Baer, on Flickr |

I think you made the right choice with the return rollers Russ. It just looks better IMO. Detailing up top is at a premium buddy. You make these things look so realistic looking even in the build up stages.

I agree with Joe on your return roller decision. The wonderful detail you have created really makes the eye wander all over this!

Russ, all your super detail seems to take the whatiffery out of it - this looks like a production tank! Outstanding in every way!

Thanks y'all. I think that's the reason I enjoy whatifs so much, making them look plausible. I like to think up scenarios where a design may have been needed or pursued for cost reasons, or an engineering or tactical dead end, things like that. Some of my better ones are just extrapolations of existing tanks or design paths that were obsoleted before they could be produced.

What a beauty of a build! To think up of all this and make it all fit together is so remarkable. Love the paintjob.

If you have colorful farts, you might want to see a doctor.

I've been having too much fun on the newest shiny object to do anything on the FART.  IMG_4258 by Russel Baer, on Flickr  IMG_4257 by Russel Baer, on Flickr When people are selling still-wrapped M41 kits for ten bucks or less I just can't help myself. |

I thought about doing it in Coors colors so I could call it a beer fart.

Beer farts are far more dangerous than the scout farts.
