HD Tank Emblems and Paint Colors 1940 - 1965

[panhead_jim]

Spent some time putting together a listing of tank emblems and paint colors for 1940 - 1965. Thought it would be a good quick reference point. Grabbed some nice tank pictures from HD and got the color information from Palmer's. Found color swatches for most of the paint colors as well.

1936 - 1939
1940 - 1946
1947 - 1950
1951 - 1954
1955 - 1956
1957 - 1958
1959 - 1960
1961 - 1962
1963 - 1965

Good job Jim, perhaps a sticky is in order?

I def. think a sticky is in order. One other caveat, and I know this is not the original intent. Folks looking for correct colors I'm thinking are well served. But - if the emblems themselves as shown in the reference are repops it should be stated. All I'm saying is that it would be of additional value if folks doing resto's could also use this reference to confirm if their badges are original or pops. A simple note that state whether the emblem in the photo is original or repop would be great.

Other than that I think the reference is fine as it stands.

Nice work Jim!
