@richmac now that you’ve pointed that out….. you’re right 😂 It’s huge. I had to do 20 sets of very little wheels with suspension. I’m going to finish the top off tomorrow, prime her, spray a colour base then do the tracks. How’s the Chieftan progressing ? |

Not touched it today, but have been looking at pictures of 'operation lionheart' which was a huge exercise in the 80's which had given me some paint ideas. My camo netting is due tomorrow and I'm trying to figure out how to do rubber mud flaps for the front that you see in pictures. I'm into scratch build territory again🤣 |

Got out to the workshop for a half hour. Changed needles in the airbrush to the biggest one and got paint on to the upper hull and another coat to the turret. Also found that hatch handle Crate of pills for a thirsty post exercise crew |

This build will be the death of me Things I learned Put the tracks on before the top half of the Hull! Check which way the side armour goes before you glue it on Having a bit of fun swapping the crews arms round. Need to paint them up and get some cammo on the netting I ordered has failed to arrive yet |
