Hi,
I have Challenger ready to paint:

How'd you like the kit? Any problems? Looks nice.

Kit is ok - no problem with build

I also would be interested to know if you hit any problems. The only possible negative is that the aerials look a tad long, otherwise looks good.

Looking good there. Like the other guys, I too would like to know what challenges (no pun intended) you came across while building this kit.

I think another kit just got added to my shopping list. Looks very nice! Let's see some paint fly now.

Its looking good so far. One thing you may want to correct though. The triangles on the turret side armor plates are for inert training armor only. Trumpeter used a training tank as their example and should have left them off. The triangles need to be removed to represent a tank in action in Iraq.

Thanks for the reminder, I would have most likely forgot about them LOL.


cheers

I have painted primer:

Nice can't wait to see the paint Dave

Hi,
Next steps:

Model finished:

That looks great!! Nicely done!

Lookin good there mate. I really like the single tone scheme.

Looking quite good, but I have two comments:
- The triangles on the turret side armor blocks are still there, and do not belong to a vehicle "in action" since they point out that the blocks are inert, only for excercise
- I have seen no vehicles with boxes stowaged this way. They are not only blocking the engine grills, but also should end out on the road if the vehicle is moving on rough terrain, I think.
Anyway, good looking model!

Nicely done! I'm looking forward to adding this to my to do list, after messing around with some die cast lately I'll have some fun working on weathering that blade.

After this I cant wait to see what Trumpeter will be releasing a year or two from now.

nice job paint looks great the boxes do nead some strapes nice job on the wearthering dave

love the finish looks just right, have to agree with others about the boxes on the decks, would lead to over heating and a right dressing down from the sqn tiffy!
