Looking good, where did you get your hood stencil?  The largest invasion star I have been able to find is the size of the star on your louvers.

Looking really good. Been following your posts over on Steel Soldiers. A little side tracked on mine right now. Spring time means the grass is growing been clearing and mowing my logging roads and lawn. Got to have some place to run the track!

Found this old post. Anybody know where this large invasion star came from?
It's bigger than what I see on Rick Larsen's site.

Thanks,

David sold this halftrack about 7 or 8 years ago iirc. I can call him if you like and see if he recalls where he got the stencils just let me know.

Hello!!
Thanks for the offer.....
However, I found out that Rick Larsen does offer up to a 36" invasion star even though
it's not advertised on his website. You just have to drop him and email and ask about it.
Mine should be here soon!! ;)
