Thought I'd show this one off a bit, weathering turned out quite well ( I finally learned when to say enough!) Trumps Op Telic, a little PE, a set of track from Tamiya and off we go, figures didn't get done in time, but I'll post when they are finished
Regards, comments and critiques always welcome

An amazing build Peter.

Peter,

Great to see a BATUS Challenger 2. Well done.

One thing I noticed in the Trumpeter BATUS decals is that there should also be callsigns on the back of the turret on the side. Trumpeter did not include them.

On BATUS Challengers there is usually green and red tape on the Commander's sight. Green on the left side, red on the right side. This is to indicate to range safety staff where the laser is pointing.

Thanks for all the kind words, I'll be sure to add those call signs on the turret.
Thanks again
Peter
