Morning All,
After a lapse of nearly 15 years, I have started to build Tamiya’s Challenger 1 mk3 tank – Kids (reason I stopped modelling plus a few other things) gave it to me for Christmas (Cannot believe how expensive kits have got in that time £45+ for a dragon kit !), Anyway onto my question; what colour are those dam optics in the cupola and forward sights. Have been searching the net to find close up shots of a real challenger cupola and not found much, found loads of shots of models and the majority seem to be gloss black, a few green, a few red, a few blue and a few mixed of red and blue. Some painted some suing foil. A got hold of modelling the challenger 1 and 2 book by osprey and even in their there are differences (but between MK1 and MK2 tanks). Currently have them painted clear red over clear blue of silver.
I may have got myself ‘hung up’ up on this, so please can someone restore my sanity and sleep J
P.S what a fantastic site this is.
