I have continued work on the Cheiftain/STRV 121. I'm currently in the weathering stage. I'm using AK's weathering products. I began with a product called NATO filter and after that i washed it using AK panelliners. It's for planes but works great for AFVs to, its easier to remove than AK's other products. Here are a couple of WIP pics.
See you later gentelmen

There haven't been much of a reply but i'll try on last time. I have continued weathering and i'm coming close to finishing the build. I decide to use masterclubs worn tracks for this build and i'm not looking back, they look fantastic. Next step of weathering is adding snow, a step that i'm a little nervous about but it think it will be worth it Here are some pictures of the tanks current state:

Looking good so far!
Might think about this kit myself.
Thanks for sharing your build.

Looking good Jakob! I like the camo scheme you have chosen, something different than what is usually done. I am very interested in how you do the snow. The worn tracks look outstanding!

Very nicely done. All around every aspect of your build looks great. Those Erin tracks look great. Good call on those. Eager to see it all come together.

Looking good! I have to get those Master Club tracks for my Chieftain as well. They look great with those worn out pads.

Thank you guys!
The tracks are as i said before awsome, a couple of link needed some filling to get rid of the flash but they are great overall. I also like that they use small resin pins instead of wire like Friul does it.
Yeah the snow is going to be interesting but as i said also a little scary, will keep you update on how it turns out
See ya soon!
