Here is a couple of pictures from my gallery of my Chieftain. This is the farthest I have progressed with a model to date. Building it straight OOB with instruction recommended paint selection. The box says its a Mk III. Nice build for a returning modeler.

This was also my first attempt to transfer pictures from my gallery here at Armorama. I'll look for a primer on inserting images or get assistance.

Looking good so far. Are you going to put the black camoflague on?
Never seen a tank displayed on a chopping board before. Interesting.

This is a fine kit as I have just finished mine. Take the time to weather it to your liking and enjoy every minute.
Can't wait to see it finished.
Cheers and good luck.

Not going to try camo pattern this time. Painting the tracks is going to be the next big challenge.

Looking good Jeff. Painting the tracks will be a blast. You'll have fun, you'll have no worries there. There's a few interesting articles on Armorama on how to do it if you'd like an idea on how someone else does it. Just do a search for the articles.
I have a few Tamyia kits to get me back into the armor building. I started a couple DML Dragon t-72's and OMG the fit was terrible! Nothing went together without a struggle so in the box they'll stay untill I get more experience and I'm in the mood for a head ache.
Keep up the good work and don't forget to show us those tracks.
