Nice looking model. For the antenna, I reccommend using brass wire rather than stretched sprue.

Now that looks excellent!

This particular Chally looks like the proverbial armoured turtle with those side skirts. Almost a throwback to the old WW1 tanks!

The pics you have taken, look nice and sharp. Nice photography!

cheers

I am building the DML 1/72 AAV with EAAK and the Revell 1/72 M60A1 with ERA. For antennas, I was going to use .015 music wire.

I'm currently building DML's 1/72 AAVR7A1 and am enjoying the build.

Raphael,

Too Cool! Excellent build, weathering and photos! Hope you place this beauty on a base as it is screaming for one . . .

again my thanks for all the comments.

re: base? yeah, i'd probably give it one later but not now or any time soon. my wife just gave birth to our first son, so i guess all modeling related activities are on hold until further notice.
