Excellent!

What unit and markings will you be using on this? Since it is a combination of USMC and US Army versions I guess you could go either way.

Thanks Jeffry

In the universe this tank is in,all US military units used diesel for vehicles I will be adding some black camo to it I am thinking 3rd armored division I will end up painting the white unit markings over in a green for low vis markings

Great hybrid, should fool any number of 'Shermexperten' and you MUST do the off-black camo !

Looks really good, should give those pesky panthers a big surprise.

QuoteEarly in the war unit markings were a pale blue.

Pale blue was i believe the official colour but white seems to have been the colour of choice....strange
