TT13,
Check out your original post for more on getting images off of the MSN site. Also the big stumbling block for everyone seems to be that the entire URL does not show up when you right click and do properties on an image. You have to click and drag on the URL address to see the entire thing. Also remember to do this on the LARGE image. Not the small thumbnail.

And nice work on this! Is that second barrel a flame gun?

Cheers,
Jim

Some Shermans were painted to look like tigers during the Korean War. It had something to do with a Chinese superstition about tigers, if I remember right... Great paint on the Sherman, nice to see something different.

what source did the info. come from? Was there not a book somewhere in the past called SHERMANS IN KOREA? or something along these lines. As i only have knowledge of the history of the Korean war, I know next to nothing about the vehicles used..Jim

P.S . A public apology for my now deleted comments, I didn't read the captions properly and thought it was one of Twisted's creations. I am now enjoying a hearty plate of curried crow....
