brodiebear Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 Tamiya Challenger 1 tank Mk3. Finished at last, started as a straight out of box build stnd paint job from the kit my children got me for Christmas. This is my 1st model in over ten years so has been a bit of a learning curve in respect to painting, weathering using resin, making my own camo nets, cargo covers etc. Next step is the Base and the figures to re -create a scene from 'The challenger' FB group 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Widow 65 Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 Hi mate, thats a very convincing Challenger 1 from Op Granby, the weathering is spot on. One thing i have noticed though is that the Gunners sight door is upside down! it needs to sit above the sight or in its fully open position behind the sight Hood completely. Still awesome though!!
