Hahahaha!!!
I approve wholeheartedly!
I feel that you need some decals however. Perhaps some eyes? Or full on German markings?
Either way, well done!

I don't quite like it...
There's something missing....
The whiskers!! You forgot the whiskers!!
But I really like it. That tail really does it...
Great way to break out the straightjacket of 3-tonecamouflage, AM, PE, washes, pigments etc!

Great one!

Tail definitely does the job...

I believe I’ve seen a diorama with pink tank and three topless babes sitting on it somewhere…

Hey, Rick
Interesting, to say the least. Attach a pink ribbon to the muzzle brake and you'll be contributing to Breast Cancer Awareness, too. Major League Baseball uses pink bats, why can't modelers build pink tanks?

Love it! LoL
Your next tank should be pink plane then a pink a car etc, you'll end up with The Pink Collection
It's weird that photographers spend years or even a whole lifetime, trying to capture moments that added together, don't even amount to a couple of hours.

Cool job!
Now, a little video with the Henry Mancini's Pink Panther theme in the background, and it will be a top notch work!
Thanks for sharing!
