Oh ok..i never checked those pics for reference...you may be right there. I do know though that it was darker, they may have faded?..hm dunno...either way they look great bro, natural looking weathering, nice job!
No worries at all Lou. I guess i don't like it when guys black out the stripe and the boots are too dark than the originals. These I feel are more accurate. I could mist the center a little more and it wouldn't hurt.
