Conqueror MkII


Fishbed

Recommended Posts

There is something about the brutish looks of the conqueror that has made me want one in the collection for some time.  I'm not an expert enough to say if it is 100% correct but it looks the part to me :-)

 

By my standards this was a quick build. There were no issues with the way it went together.  The only oddity is that there are no clear lenses for the headlights included, just normal plastic ones. I'll add clear lenses one day.

As its so prominent I replace the barrel with one from Aber.  I think its designed for the Dragon kit, but it was not hard to make it fit.  Painting as done with a very old tin of Humbrol paint from their old Authentic range. One of the marking options from the kit was used, as I found a photo of that tank online.

 

Enough waffle, on to the photos.

I remember there being a Conquerer as a gate guardian to Proteus Training camp in Sherwood Forest (https://www.28dayslater.co.uk/threads/proteus-training-camp-notts-01-09.36915/) - back in the 1970s.  I wonder what happend to that....

 

Great model - and happy memories!
