Dunno, if it had two big turrets I'd be tempted to paint 'Dolly Parton' on it though...

I got a chuckle out of the Transformer logo on that Stryker. I wonder if there are some tooling around with 80's GI Joe logos, that thought of that makes me smile.

When I was stationed in Germany in the 80s, you tended to fall behind stateside fads by at least a couple of years. I had never heard of a cartoon called Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles before; I didn't watch cartoons because I didn't have kids and it wasn't shown on AFN, which was the only channel we got on base.

One of the platoons had the four tanks named after the turtle characters. I just figured the platoon leader was a renaissance man or such. It wasn't until the live action movie was being previewed at the theater that I made the connection.

The Canadians took this cartoon thing one step farther; Operation Timis Preem, or Op Timis Preem for short. http://www.ctv.ca/CTVNews/TopStories/20080825/vehicle_bomb_080825/ 

Oh I'm sure that there's a lot of gunners out there that would like to have "Lady Gaga" on their tubes.

.................. and sure she will appear on more vehicles and nose art.

But will more than likely appear on Madonna, Paris, Britney or possibly even  "Ellen D".

Generally a good rule, yes.

I say the heck with it... She's pretty smokin hot and sure she will appear on more vehicles and nose art.

Our military is a young mans game... let 'em play  :  )

You guys are looking at this all wrong.

Think about everything you know and think you know about Lady Gaga. What do you think that tells you about her politics. Now, how do you think SHE feels knowing that there is this awesome killing machine out there with her name on it...

 

 

Hey hey he - don't mention politics!!!

ya mean don't go P in here?

The German balkencross on their tanks were orriginally solid white. During the invasion of Poland, the Poles would just lineup the cross hairs on the cross and fire. Once this was realized by the Germans they repainted the crosses yellow making them harder to see.

Just as good as a bull's eye.

Yup, as bad as the Allies big white star surrounded by a circle post D-Day.  It just screamed "Shoot me here!"  Not too hard to see why they painted them black later.  Now if somebody put Lady Gaga on the side of their ride, I'd definitely have to put a round into her.  Like John Wayne said, "Some people were just put on this Earth for killing."

I thought it was an advertising ploy by her marketing people (or is that mother and father), can't be long before we see that happening. Next war will be brought to you sponsored by Coke, Pizza Hut and Microsoft.

Wonder how an Abrams would look in the Coke colours?? I dare someone to try it

Hmmmmm - no ads from "Target"! Wonder why???

WWII French armor,  May 1940 , used to post a similar advertisement ........perhaps  meant to fool the German Panzers ?

Needs more rust!

Maybe Congress has decided it did not need to cut the military budget after all.....?

Boddingtons (or Boddies as we call it) used to be brewed near me till some American firm took it over and cocked it up.

I'm almost tempted to suggest a group build but dont want the problems of copyright etc.

How about a Challenger in a Boddington's Porter scheme?  Yellow and black might be impressive.

Why can't it be System of a Down, or Rammstein, or Metallica? :(

Chazzer:

I've heard of the medical complications caused by snake bite.

My very best to you  and hope you have a speedy recovery.

MAJ Mike

Chazzer:  Sorry to hear about the health problems.  Sincerely hope you feel better soon.  Try to relax and think warm thoughts about your contributions to the Panzer III GB.

Wow. Hope you get to feeling better soon Chazzer.

What is up with the armor people? (just kidding) That Lady Gag (yes I meant to spell it that way) needs a heavy dose of A-10!!!!

Here's Jan Zumbach's "Mad Duck" and below it a Romanian IAR 80 with Mickey Mouse.
