Tools, Techniques, and Reference Materials Decaling

I’m building the M48A3 and I’m to the decaling stage, the decal sheet has the “mouth” decals, would these have been on the Army version or the Marines version, or did both use the mouth? Thanks

I’ve seen pic of both using the mouths, so you are good to use them for either version.

If I’m wrong I apologize. and hope that someone will set me straight.

Dumb question, but are there any indications in the kit instructions about which vehicles get the mouths?

4

Nope, at least none I see…
Duke, do you know where I could find these pics your talking about?

Man, I believe I saw them in a book about Armor in Europe/Reforger exercise, but I canot be sure. maybe a check on Google will bring up similar photos. I’ll see what I can come up with.

I’m sorry, not reforger, it was a book about Armor in Vietnam. Reforger was the M 60 Patton–wrong tank! Sorry for the confusion.

No luck on Google either. Sorry about that. I wish I coulda been more helpful.

Thanks Duke, like you I’ve been searching and have come up empty, so I went ahead and just left them off for now.
