Badder Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 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, Badder 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rearguards, Badder Many thank's Badder,yes figures are included with the kit but I'm not the best figure painter,I will use them to practice on though! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darby Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 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 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
