No, The glass canopy has been a point of contention among collectors for as long as I can remember. Everyone knows you don't put a glass canopy on a tank. Also I would say the Vamp is more Iconic.

Fenders would have been a good idea, but as I said I intended on this being a quick simple project and fenders would have been a much bigger project then I planned. Heck the turret and canopy were a much bigger project then I planned. As for the armor, if I was doing just a normal vehicle I would have probably done several things different but putting it on a RC chassis kinda limits the options a little.

The fenders would have been a great idea but would have made it a much larger project then I planned on having. It is actually orange and blue but I think there is a mix of lighting and a bit of bleed through causing that effect.
The raw steel just happened to happen and I did not plan on it. But now that I have discovered it I plan on making a dreadnok vehicle with that as its main color. What happened is I planned on having those areas just plain flat black, but I went out and spray painted the antenna chrome which got chrome spray paint on my fingers. I thought it was dry and I have no patience so I was handling the black pieces putting them on the vehicle but to my dismay there were silver highlights on the edges of the canopy that had rubbed off of my hands. So at that point I decided to go with it and went out and spraypainted my hands some more and applied it to all the black areas.
