British Army Platforms Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 (edited) Without too much babbling, here is the final product. Went with a traditional paint job to pay homage to the original camo seen shortly after 1994, and a slight wink at the BAE Systems upgraded Chally. Those who wish to see the build process (WIP) and my other challenger projects: Enjoy the Photos! Edit; some more photos with the chally in its natural habitat. Well its 35x bigger than this models habitat but nature is the best diorama in my opinion A giant car chasing the challenger about. The paint job looking more accurate in the more usual British weather as opposed to the sunny pictures as seen below.

Hi Erk, I see that you are very interested in British vehicles, and you may be interested in seeing a photo of one of my models published in the forum, which is very close to yours, it is a Takom Chieftain Mk2 at 1/35, in the WIP At the end, you can see some photos of its underbelly, and in the finished RFI, lower parts of the hull and the tracks, as well as already on a base. I hope to help you, Cheers and TC Francis.👍 Edited February 21, 2021 by FrancisGL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could suggest the tanks we built were relatives with the paint job and mud location. Although that wouldn’t be quite accurate as yours is so much better weathered and placed in a fantastic diorama. Thanks so much for the reference, I will certainly use this when I come to finishing off my next models. glad to have you on board 👌.

British Army Platforms Posted February 24, 2021 Author Share Posted February 24, 2021 The more astute of you may have noticed the challenger tank above isn't actually finished. Ill post two pictures below and let me know If you can identify the final process I missed... Before the change After the change 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
