1/72 Revell Challenger 1

[Levin]

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:
