I agree with Dave and Steve...good work. Also a great background story for it. I like the weathering and also kind of like the hand-painted numbers...gives it originality. Update us if you do decide to add decals and such. (++)

(rudy means red in russian)


Actually you would call someone RUDY if they had red (orange) hair so it's not RED per say and it is not Russian but Polish.

I also grew up watching reruns of this mini-series and to this day I love it. Of course it is quite a pro Russian propaganda but then again we are talking about the 60's.

BTW nice job on the tank.
