I'd love to see others trying out a color swap like I did, but I'm not sure how many possible choices there are...I know there (...) (19 years ago, 29-Apr-05, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)

(...) Hi Marco! Keep on building. Use what you've got available to you. That's what prompted me to re-color the 4508. I knew I had the Dark Red to pull it off, so I went for it.

Alternately, I wouldn't have minded Lego putting out the Dark Red variant with Sand Red highlights. I don't (...) (19 years ago, 29-Apr-05, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)

Hey Kyle, I love this tank! The details are phenominal. I think my favorite aspect of it are the treads on the feet because wheels and mecha don't usually go together. Keep up the fantastic work!

Dave, this re-color looks so cool! I wish the company had replaced the orange with dark red. Even better if they also replaced the sand blue with tan, or even keeping the sand blue, and giving us tan instead of black. (19 years ago, 28-Apr-05, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)
