Pershing Icon Set *DELETED*

[DRG]

Joe, there are fuel tanks hanging off the end of that vehicle that make it appear longer. And they do indeed extend the length of the Icon beyond the stated "hull length". Any source that gives hull length should NOT be including the fuel tanks ( though it wouldn't surprise me to find one that does ).

When checking 3 view drawings of the tank the width x length ratio for that vehicle from the front mud guards to the rear of the fuel tanks it comes back as 2.134. Check that Icon and it comes back 2.143. One pixel shorter makes it 2.095 and one pixel longer makes it 2.190 so 2.143 is, using the scale we are using, virtually dead on 45x21 which is what that icon is when the fuel tanks are added to the rear of the tank

I am not disputing your T-55 dimensions and of course I know those are 55 gallon drums strapped to the back of it to extends it range. LOL.. Give me a bit of credit here Don...LOL...

Also notice, that I said "screw it" I'll go back to my old way of double and triple checking my resources. . I am already in the works of down sizing my Pershing Icon Set and M-46 Pattons, which will eventually lead to down sizing all the other Pattons as well. But that is down the road. Plan was to only post my M-26s, M-46s, and M-47s. Because they are the only ones using my ancient icons and was thinkin it would take much to repost them with minor updates from my Yahoo ones. Boy, did that ever back fire...LOL...

But it shall be done! Can't release something not to scale, which didn't even know they were, till now... Guess @#& happens after all...LOL...

OK, but for that vehicle does the dimensions agree with that book or that website?

To me the T-55 seems pixels shorter than the M-26. Doublecheck the shadows..
