Four more photos showing the almost completed tanker painted but no markings and weathering. http://groups.msn.com/armorama/fueltankerproject.msnw?albumlist=2 I have added some photos of the M-54 converted cab.

lookin' real good now Animal. Can't wait to see it decaled and weathered :-)

Very nice animal. I love that OD shade, is it your own "recipe" or is a standard color? Would you mind to share it?

Wow that´s an impressive scratchbuilding.
Very well done Sir.
Please keep us updated (++)

The paint is straight OD green from Model Masters. I have to wait for some more decal sheets from Micro-Mark to make the decals for the markings. I use the Archer Fine Tranfers on the clear decal sheet to make custom decals. I find that this works very well. Most of my models are copy's of actual vehicles that were used in Vietnam. I build them from photos supplied by the drivers of these vehicles. The decal trick works to get the accurate markings on each model.

Veeeery impressive build Sir i take my hat off to you.

I'm into aviation, but geez that's great work. I'm impressed. You armor guys are fantastic!
I'm not familiar with your work, so if I may ask is this your first conversion? It has been awhile since I've built anything on wheels or tracks. (DML T-72 and an Academy Humvee)
Always fascinating to me but it's too much to go off on armor I won't have time for either planes or tanks! Trust me I would get lost in them again!
