Hands up who wants to see a Tanker in Deep Bronze Green?
Been a heck of a lot of work over the last couple of weekends, flatting off the primer and touching up the odd dink and chip that has occurred during fitting.
Started early this morning with final DA-ing of the last bits
Then dust off, wash off and tack rag all round. before masking up
Got to start somewhere, actually I started on the roof, but this was the most difficult bit, especially with the second coat, trying to spray one side without sticking to the other side.
There was also a bit of laying down on the job too
Have I missed anywhere?
Nearside finished
View from the top
Offside looking very shiny. Paint is still quite wet at the time of the photo, but it was still shining after we had packed up. Appears to be drying nicely. Can't wait until tomorrow to unmask it and see how it looks once it is properly dried.
Well pleased with the days efforts. Spare wheel carrier can go back on now, along with the tool bin that is currently underneath the thing. Start work on the tank after that

Thanks for the great pictures at the museum, I was in the Netherlands in 1983 with the us army doing a reforger, with the 1st cav, We were at budle, and other towns, ever town we went through hundreds of people lined the streets. Also was at vinlo, but without our tanks. They were wonderful people in the Netherlands. I still have some gilders

It looks like a M6 high speed tractor, If so they are good at mod. jobs. I read that a museum in the netherlands has a M6 high speed tractor and a M4A1 hst. They are very few left.
