With Takom's release of their chieftain models I was hoping there would be some after market stuff for these kits. Specfically crew stowage and crews. I would have thought Legend or Blackdog would have had stuff out by now. I know of one crew set but the faces are a little heavy on detail. Have I missed something?
Cheers

AC Models has eleased two crew sets - one for the BAOR, another Iranian with some stowage. As well, Valkyrie Miniatures has a BAOR crew that should be suitable for the Chieftain.

I like the crew provided in the old Tamiya kit, probably the same price as a single
Resin figure for the whole kit complete with 3 figures and with Hornet heads can be dressed up really well.

I used them on my MK11 conversion

valkyrie may have what you are looking for

Anyone have BOAR appropriate decals yet? The lack of BOAR markings has kept me from getting any of the Takom Chieftains.

Accurate Armour

For which timeframe are the Valkyrie Sets valid?
Thanks.

I think you would get away with the 60's through to the 80's for the bottom set. The top set is aimed at the Gulf War though and I suspect the helmets tie them down to a tighter period of time.

Accurate Armour sell great resin barrels that I bought for mine and Master club sell exceptional metal tracks with rubber pads. Two sets are available with either new or worn track pads.

I ordered the AA barrel a few months ago. It is execellant.

I'm a bit dubious about the headsets on the lower set. They don't look much like any of mine (Larkspur and Clansman). A set with the Dan Dare helmets would be welcome and I have a vague idea that someone makes one although memory fails me as to who it is.

Used to be Terry Beal aka Castoff Models. Sadly no longer in business.

Accurate Armour do a set of 3, marketed as a CVR(T) crew - FSO3 at 14 quid; 2 of the set are wearing the Dan Dare helmets albeit one with a Combat Cap underneath. The 3rd figure is wearing a Cold Weather Cap - the one with earflaps, peak etc. Whilst only 2 have the helmet at least it's a start. Shelling out for an extra set to provide a 3rd figure (thus filling all hatches) wouldn't seem too punishing.

'Hope this helps.
