    Agreed, but I suppose they might have figured that painting it onto the outside of the tank would make it clear which vehicle has, and which hasn’t been reworked? Sort of like American softskin vehicles with a -S suffix to the registration number: it indicates the electrical system has been suppressed to allow a two-way radio to operate properly when installed in the vehicle. Why would you need to show this on the outside, though? Punch an S into the vehicle data plate and you’re done, I would think, because the only time that letter is important is when choosing which vehicle in your unit you want to fit a radio in, and you’ll have the time to check the data plates then anyway.

    From the modeller’s perspective, that’s of course the best solution
