Hi folk's sad but my aircraft mojo has gone on vacation I get a project out,stare at it and put it back so as I,m building the last subject in my other 

armour thread I thought as  a companion to the Chieftain next up would be it's replacement.

The kit comes in a sturdy box with lid.

And the box is packed with sprue's.

Must get a bigger table! Some beautifully molded parts,vinyl track's which actually bend with each link and a little fret of PE.There are a lot of

extra parts in the box including a dozer blade and fitting's.

Should get started soon.

Hello,

 

with the reworked turret, this kit gives a quite accurate Challenger 2 ... my only recommandation would be to carefully align the suspension arms when gluing them, in order to have a perfectly square undercarriage;)

 

If you don't mind, I'll take a seat to see what's following ^_^

this one really is a different animal,thank's for the tip on the suspension.

Hi folk's well here goes,steps 1 and 2 involve the bottom hull and twenty odd other pieces,some of the parts are a bit rough and

flash is evident but nothing that cannot be dealt with easily.
