Regards Dan Thanks Dan, Couldn't let that one go The Challie looks quite interesting, will need a bit more TLC than the TAMITAKOMENGRYE offerings that we are slowly getting spoiled by but should be a nice counterpart to the Abrams.

Dads203 Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 I’ll be looking forward to seeing it build up Julian, funny enough I dug out the Tamiya Challenger 2 that’s been in the stash with the idea of converting it to a BAOR wagon. Have a look at the Accurate Armour detail set for the trumpy kit mate, it’s really nice, adds that refinement that the Trumpy kit should have 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ahhh, Chally 2 , but i’ve possibly narrowed down the next build to a late BAOR Scimitar or a Warrior Infantry command variant, can’t beat a couple of Racal PU8 masts to add some interest. We had a Warrior at 6 Brigade as the Brigs TAC wagon so I might have to model that one as I’ve crewed it on a couple of exercises 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlackMax12 Posted November 26, 2017 Share Posted November 26, 2017 (edited) Really good job on the storage Julian. I can't quite see it but there's got to be a kitchen sink in there somewhere, can't go to war without one of those. BTW aren't those oil drain tubs made out of black polyurethane or some such? Yours look good but I always thought they were black. Don't change them, I'm just curious, no such thing as a dumb question. Oh yah, the gun on that Soviet T-90 is bigger and longer......
