I wasn't too happy with the white camouflage on my Sherman either. Don't worry too much about yours. It looks good with the rust and you might just start to like it better if you stare at it for an hour or so. That's what I do. Works every time.

Oh dear. Well, try the staring thing with this round. I'd be interested to know if it works for other people.
