Heres something i have been playing with ...now its getting close to the finish line of the building stage and as for paint..no idea what so ever ...might be something simple of flashy but ill reach that point when i come to it .
I havent done a green camoed tank in a long while ...so that might be an idea ill look at for sure ,,,but heres what it looks like at the mo .
First off the turret ..its the turret from the Tamiya Gepard AA kit...super old model so its pretty goof fodder for the wiffy gods .

Ignore the chassis...this was going to be a new version for the Finnish armed forces ..but plans got changed  ;D

This is a bugga to take pics of course of the colours ..once its under coated it should be alot easier to photograph.
If it aint broke ,,fix it until it is .
Over kill is often very understated .
I know the voices in my head ain't real but they do come up with some great ideas.
Theres few of lifes problems that can't be solved with the proper application of a high explosive projectile .

Nice one :) What might have been if the Americans had taken anti-aircraft defence seriously, I suppose.

This'll be good.

I like the turret shape.  Pure gun or will it have additional missiles?
I don't think it's nice, you laughin'. You see, my mule don't like people laughin'. He gets the crazy idea you're laughin' at him. Now if you apologize, like I know you're going to, I might convince him that you really didn't mean it.

Strange you mention that mate..ive been thinking about that ..or was thinking about that..forgot and then remembered that I'd been thinking about that .
Now im thinking about that again 🤔 😏  ;D
What I am thinking is something like a Stinger pod or mounting like 4 of them ..2 on each side.
