nice job Dave, how about a few more pictures A few questions, how is the tiger done, hand painted or a decal? What is the hybrid gun barrels purpose and what did it replace. I am obviously not very savvy on the Pershing.
Best Regards,
Robert

In the 1950's the U.S. tank barrels had a bore evacuator placed on the barrels to help remove fumes from the turret

Dave
That is a great job on the tiger face Very sharp Pershing

There are some more pics in my gallery, just didn't want to clog up the forum with 'em all. The Tiger is all hand painted from pics and a scan that I was sent.
I used a hybrid gun barrel because I bought a metal barrel to use and then found I'd bought the wartime item instead of the Korean war period piece, rather than waste it I cut'n'shut it with some of the kit part.

Thanks for the compliments Zod, this one certainly stands out on the shelf!

Nice job Dave. Looks like a photo from my "Armor in Korea" book.

Thanks a lot David. I model for my own enjoyment, but when others like them as well then that's great!

Ciao Dave,
Great job! I take it that camouflage wasn't a big issue in Korea?
Ciao for now
Rob
