Hi Matt
Excellent build! I really think you nailed the weathering and especially the wet mud effect looks great.

Hi Matt, great looking model, brings back many happy memories.. and as an ex Challenger crewman and Commander, i can happilyb say you nailed, very clean lines on an original before they stuck on external fuel drums... .. if you ever do another or similar , think about turret/ hull tac signs, other than that silly small point, well done ..jon
