The choices in the survey are horrible. Apparently the "paint job" really means clip art and lettering will be applied. This isn't an exercise to tap the community's creativity, it's an exercise to make an ugly "50s style rocket" even uglier.
So that I'm not accused of complaining without offering solutions, below are previous WJ posts about the tank.

The tank does not have to spell out "Woodland."
