AnonymousDFB1 Posted August 1, 2008 Author Share Posted August 1, 2008 Well I've started... Not done much but I have sprayed up the road wheels, drive wheels, bogies and the turret. Hope to assemble the road wheels and paint the rims whilst watching TV tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Antoine Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 Bon courage for this build, Mish. I've a special interest for this tank, I've drove one once at Berlin in the late 80's. I still remember, going up or down gear was done with the foot, like when riding a motorbike! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnonymousDFB1 Posted August 3, 2008 Author Share Posted August 3, 2008 (edited) A lot of progress today, in fact only stopped because I've run out of paint! I love these Tamiya armour kits, they fly together. Progress so far: Edited August 24, 2008 by Mish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter Marshall Posted August 24, 2008 Share Posted August 24, 2008 Right back on the Chieftain again.Now she's beginning to look like a tank. Looking good, but I would be worried about that Garfield stalking the tank in the background.... Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnonymousDFB1 Posted September 6, 2008 Author Share Posted September 6, 2008 A bit more done today. A few more bits attached to the turret and I have started painting the track. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BadCop Posted September 7, 2008 Share Posted September 7, 2008 Those tracks look great Mish - what colours did you use? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonymousDFB1 Posted September 10, 2008 Author Share Posted September 10, 2008 A lot done today. Just the crew to build/paint, put the tracks on and skirts, then weather. I have tried making a camo net and a folded tarpaulin. I think they need a little more colour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonymousDFB1 Posted September 10, 2008 Author Share Posted September 10, 2008 Those tracks look great Mish - what colours did you use? Thanks I used Tamiya XF9 and drybrushed the treads with XF1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonymousDFB1 Posted September 11, 2008 Author Share Posted September 11, 2008 Well not quite finished, just a little to do and I have to make and paint the crew. But she is taking shape. Wondering if I have over weathered her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Obi-Jiff Kenobi Posted September 11, 2008 Share Posted September 11, 2008 That looks great, and not at all over-weathered. Some of the real ones got filthy. I must dust my one off and post some pics some day. It's a great kit, pity they never updated it to a more modern version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
