1947 Tank emblem

[TH47Indy]

I believe for 47 the scripts backgrounds were only Indian red regardless of tank color.

Thanks Tom.
My tanks are black, and I do plan on painting them Indian red.I've seen so many variations I wasn't sure what was original.

If I don't receive any tips on paint techniques I think I'm going to try using the syringe technique.

A couple of questions:

1. Were the tank emblems originally painted from the factory? And if so, were they always the color of the tank?

2. I read a couple of posts about spraying the entire emblem, then waiting a week and removing the paint on the raised areas using acetone, but doesn't sound like to would work for the '47 script emblems.

I also read about a technique using a syring to flow the paint between the letters.

Any trick or suggestions, or has anyone tried these technoquies with good results?

Thanks.
