Left 4 Dead 2 The Incredible Tank Recolor

This is a very quick recolor of the L4D2 Tank to make him appear similar to The Incredible Hulk. I say similar because he doesn’t look quite right without hair. Or eyeballs. The skins are in vpk format for easy installation and instructions are included. I suggest that you...
