Hi Steve.

That's a great looking Chieftain you've made there.

I built this kit back in the late 70's and it was a delight. Since returning to model-making I decided to limit myself to WWII AFVs only, but your Chieftain and others on BM have really tempted me to make an exception.

 

It would have been nice to see some figures. I seem to remember that the kit I built came with some rather nice ones... but I may be mistaken.

 

Rearguards,

Still scrubs up well after all these years. Twas the first 1/35 AFV I built in 89. The NAAFI in HMS Drake had one in. My weathering though consisted of splashing brown paint in unconvincing streaks all over it
