tbill Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 I painted the cab on this back in may just before I returned to work from my COVID time off, and have just finished it. Colors are all testors spray bombs, inca gold, lime ice and emerald green. Used tires from double take replicas, and can’t remember where the deck plate came from, thanks for looking.

To be honest , after it’s dry, I wear gloves to attach them, then never touch them. So far though, all the tanks I’ve done still look just as good as the day I painted them.
