Mk1 in the Field

This is Conrad Chapman's (Chris Chapman’s 11 year old son) completed 1/72nd scale Mk1 model tank by Airfix. The project began about a year ago and through continual encouragement from me he went from construction, through the tricky hand painted camo painting to finally weathering and building the diorama base. After many months of intermittent progress he completed this in time for Amorcon 2016 where he was rewarded for his perseverance and effort with the best junior award.

I feel looking at this effort by Conrad that the hobby is in safe hands and has a future with offerings of this quality from young upcoming modellers.
