Always love the 'spaceship' lines of this tank and you've done it justice with the paint work Bob. Nice!

Andy - thanks brother
Leon - Thank you as well my brother
Bill - have to agree with "spaceship" lines. just something so futuristic about this beast. Funny thing, the other day when the turret was off i put it up next to one of my Shermans and holy crap, the Merk turret is almost the same size as a Sherman! Thank you brother appreciate it.

Oh WOW brother! I am always impressed with your builds. This "spaceship" is no exception. The barrel looks short in relation to and, because of the turret. Makes me think you could knife fight in a phone booth with this beastie.  Dave |

Nice finish to this one Bob, now you have to put your brain to dealing with something that doesn't involve ball-and-chain metaphors. |
