Got lost in past threads, so apologies up front for what must be old questions:

ON the Thunder Run M1 'Courtesy of Red White and Blue' and/or 'Can Tank R Us'
1) What color is the painted part of the barrel (On Courtesy)?
2) Was EAPU on board these tanks?
3) Any good pics of quirks in road wheels (green vs. desert), dings, dents, etc?
4) I am using Tamiya M1A1 35369, which of the 5 options in kit is best representation of these tanks?
4) Good reference sites?

Thanks for patience and feedback.
