Cool kits. If you have a local Hobby Lobby, you can get appropriate primer spray and Vallejo paints. Panzer Grey, dark olive drab, black and a wood color will get you a good basic paint job. Get some white to mix with the base colors to give you a lighter color to dry brush highlights and the tanks will look very nice! Spend about $10 to get 15mm decals on eBay and the tanks will look great! With the number of tanks you have, the outlay will be worth it.

Using bits from the German kits to add improvised armor to the US tanks is a nice touch. I want to start adding even more stowage to my tanks. Tarps and bed rolls from wine bottle foil....boxes and wood made from styrene from Evergreen....camo net made from gauze and cheese cloth. Maybe some helmets crafted from simple sculpting clay?
