Hi guys,
I had a bit of fun tonight writing up a story about my latest modeling adventure… how a disastrous Revell kit turned out good!

ok, I must admit that I blame it all on "soju", a very nice korean drink.

anyway, go and have a look…

There once was an ugly tank
With tracks all broken and poor
And the other tanks, in so many bangs said
Get out of Kursk, get out, get out, get out of Kursk

And he went with a bang
And a trundle and a clank
In a flurry of diesel smoke

All through the wintertime he hid himself away
Ashamed to show his face, afraid of what others might say
All through the winter in his lonely cardboard box
Till a Maker of models spied him there and very soon agreed

Youre a very fine SU-85
SU-85? Me, a Tank Destroyer? Go on, you're a 85
Take a look at yourself in the blog and you'll see
And he looked and he saw and he said
It's me, I am Tank Destroyer, whee

Im not such an ugly tank
No tracks all broken and skew
For in fact these tanks in so many words said
The best in town, the best, the best, the best in game

Not a clank, not a grind
Not a thrown track left behind
But a glide and a bang
And a bloody big gun, a bloody big gun indeed

And sights so noble and high
Say, "Who's an ugly tank?" Not I

Go, little T-34, go!

There was an old tank from Nantucket.
Whose new gun came out of a bucket.

He said with a smile.
As he wiped them out by the pile.

If they run out of tanks,
they must truck it!
