The blue and white part counts for the 'class' the added paint is the skill. Makes for a perfect, skillfully done ,classic look.
Don't knock it till you owned one.

Thanks appreciate it.
I cant even draw a stick figure, sooo I had a local artist named David Lee do the deal. But you can still send me your tank for a Kindergarten finger paint session.
