RFI 1/35 Tamiya Chieftain MK 6 1978

[PanzerWomble]

Bit of a clear my shelf / too many nicer Chieftains to build .

Very simple kit from 1975- even with the mods it's only a couple of fat evenings to build ( this might be the fifth one I've built now? )

Not entirely happy with the cammo net which looks too flat in the pix , may revisit it later.

Lovely work on this antique Tamiya kit. Bravo!

That’s brilliant execution on an old kit. I can only wish I could build armor, but mine look hideous. 
 

The big Chieftan looks like he’s ready to deal out a loving touch to those who anger him.

I...er ...feel the same about my LSP efforts ! At least with armour you can "weather" the mistakes away !

Well, my armor weathering often comes courtesy of an American size 11E Tony Llama boot.  STOMP!

Straight out through the patio doors of doom.

 

The ICM HS 126 last year didn't even get as far as wing attachment ...grrrrrr
