Tamiya Challenger 1 tank Mk3. Finished at last, started as a straight out of box build stnd paint job from the kit my children got me for Christmas. This is my 1st model in over ten years so has been a bit of a learning curve in respect to painting, weathering using resin, making my own camo nets, cargo covers etc. Next step is the Base and the figures to re -create a scene from 'The challenger' FB group

I agree. I have looked at this kit a few times and been put off by the reviews. From what you have accomplished, I may reconsider it.
