FYI, the star is considered a "National Symbol" in the U.S. military. It is not proprietary to the Army. Different branches have utilized the star in different eras, and on different types of vehicles, including aircraft.

I Like both, but tins are OD, no star.

So, what say you?

The Olive Gold Denim has the style defined for you. Can't change any part of the colour scheme later on.

The Vivid Black is a blank canvas. You can change just the tank, to any colour you choose, still fits in with the black. Big visual change.
That's old school.

Both great choices.

to this in a couple of hours. Less if you have another set of innards.

I am not bad *** enough to know what SMFH means.

I vote Red Iron Denim. It has sort of the same vibe as the Olive but without being army.

I like it so much that I bet a Fat Boy S would look awesome Red Iron Denim.

I usually hate the Denim finishes.
