Very nice painting & weathering. The markings blend very well.

The commander looks good, as well.


The track is a weak point. An after-market set would have finished off this kit nicely...

I actually fully agree with you on this one. The tracks OOTB was missing some slight detail between each link. Ive still got the Chally 2 in the box waiting to be built so would definitely consider AM parts for that build.

Cheers!

Hi Jeremy,

I don't know much about modern armour but this looks like a Challenger to me, nice build.

Re the tracks, that's really a cost issue but I think they could have done with a bit more weathering as the rest of the vehicle looks cool.

As you're showing a vehicle with crew, some more kit around the tank would have been good and given more interest and contrast in colour.

That said, great build and what do I know anyway, that's just my preference.

Cheers and thanks for posting this, it's a mighty machine.

Al
