That looks good. Where I live, Here in Oshkosh. Is the home of Oshkosh Truck Corp. Makers of Oshkosh Military Vehicles. (ie. Hemitts, PLS, M1A-Bradly tank haulers, etc.). I worked in the paint dept., As a spray painter camouflaging trucks. It would take a team of four guys, about 15 min. to camouflage a whole truck. Each guy used three spray guns at a time. (Green, black, brown). Laying on all three colors at once. It always amazed me, and was pretty neat to watch. All the camo patterns where identical, with no over spray on the other colors. (Now days everything is sprayed sand color, boring) But after five years there. I got laid off. Now, I'm currently laid off from a company called AxleTech. (a division of General Dynamics) They produce military axles. (Rockwell's, the original Dana's.)
