Here is my build of Revells 1/72 Challenger 1. The fit of the kit was pretty good except I messed up a bit with the tracks, but nothing major. I built it OOB except I thougt it would look good if I cut out the turret baskets and put netting in it, which turned out -well- bad so i left it after the first one and glued the netting just onto the basket. I also filled the baskets with stowage made out of tissues and white glue as i added a thread to the winch(?) at the rear and I also made the manlet of the barrel out of tissue. Here are the pics: IMG_2149 by nivelnnamkcurts, auf Flickr IMG_2153 by nivelnnamkcurts, auf Flickr IMG_2154 by nivelnnamkcurts, auf Flickr IMG_2157 by nivelnnamkcurts, auf Flickr IMG_2159 by nivelnnamkcurts, auf Flickr IMG_2160 by nivelnnamkcurts, auf Flickr IMG_2161 by nivelnnamkcurts, auf Flickr And the comparsion to a 1 coin and an 1/72 esci figure...

Hey Guys, Brand new to all this forum stuff and all the etiquette behind it all, so here we go, jump in at the deep end. Used to build kits with my dad when I was 9/10 years old, didnt care about the finish of the model, just wanted to build, paint, then play with it and take it to school show and tell. 10 years on, a random trip to Hobbycraft and my eyes lit up with delight when I saw the model section. So off I went and picked up several models and paints including Airfix's Operation Herrick range (hoping to do a diorama eventually when I get my new house sorted), a few basic 1/72 planes, and then this Challenger. I remember building this kit with my dad when I was a boy so memories came flooding back whilst building. So anyway, I built the kit up and left all the small parts off til the end. Used a rattlecan from Humbrol for the tan, and then a mixture of tamiya acrylics and humbrol enamel for the small parts. Hope you guys enjoy the finish product, let me know how to improve, and hopefully this is the first of many posts! Cheers, Ollie
