You mean the RD50 sticker :roll:

Nice looking tank, a pity about the paint scheme. At $200 I'll keep an eye on it - useable but ultimately will have to be resprayed - $$$$$$ :cry:

well threefold...

1, wtf are those decals all about... uuuuugleeee!

2, his painter put 250 on the front guard and 350 on the tank... and we are s'posed to trust the rest of the job as a good un?

3, then he says he peeled off the 3 to put on a 2, but never got round to finding a matched one but in the end cleared over the tank without the new decal... why would you do that?!

It all smacks of a dodgy job... might not be, but sure sounds like it...

Is that a welded patch on the left of the pic of the tank upside down?
I thought it looked OK but that niggles me and it's hard enough to be sure of the condition of a tank when it's in your hands.

I'll let you know the juicy details soon, looks like I go pick it up tonight. As long as the Bulk of the tank is ok I can work with it. Ive taken a punt on this tank as it does look a tad on the dodgy side. I'm well acquainted with mr tin worm...
