Well I'm glad to say ...After nearly going mad doing this ..its finished
After the misshap with my First version ..I got stuck straight into Number 2 version
Firstly the 3 Engine vents had to go ..So I changed them to 4 vents
I used Solder wire found at work ..plus some old telephone wire
I also Put on a rear tool box this was Scratchbuilt out of Plastic card
I also Scratch built the side radio out of plastic card and the ariel mount was kindly donated by my Chally 2 kit
Theres also a Flahing light this was made from a bit of my old keyboard and a toothpick
the Rear yellow and red signs were made from plastic and painted in yellow and red then covered with tammy clear yellow

I decided to go with a light weathering on this

In the storage bins I shoved in 2 Water containers, 2 Fuel cans and 2 cardboard boxes
on the rear tool box I found a cover from a hummer kit

The painting was the biggest pain lots of tammy tape and lots of correcting
but got there in the end .. be nice if somone bought out this kit and a updated version of the chieftain
I'm off now to the looney bin for a check up from the neck up
I need it after this


Here it is all done

Great job on the camo, I've seen a couple Chieftains in this pattern and they always look way cool.

That is superb! Great work.
Well done.

I can see why you are off to the looney farm.
I really like the camo, and the whole tank looks very nice.

Cheers guys

Well the paint job drove me to insanity ..so much so I may do another
Just to push me over the edge
But great fun to do

Anyone else want to go crazy and do one

It looks real good Worm, that little bit of weathering has tied it up nicely, the only thing I can see is the underside of the gun thermal jacket section nearest the turret looks to be only basecoated, or is it painted to break up the shape?

I've got a future project of doing a what if Chally 1 in the Berlin scheme, when I will get to it is another matter....

Yep Some of them where a short of off white colour undeneath
some where well brown.. so I went ith the off white just to break it up a bit

Cheers dude, thanks for the prompt answer.
