Tamiya Challenger 1.

[Guest]

My second build of a MBT, is the British Challenger 1 tank. This build had a lot more smaller pieces

than my first build of the Abrams tank. Thought I would post a few pics now before I go & spoil it when I come to weather it lol.

Very nice I can see why you would be worried as at the moment it looks great I've ruined a few in the past all I can say is take it nice and easy and keep stepping away and good luck cheers John

Nice start there, might need a bit - (lot) more smoke from the exhausts, all photos i have seen show the back of these things covered in soot, goes everywhere :-).

Hi Steve, yes the exhaust smoke at the moment is just matt black paint on the exhaust outlets & ive ordered a Tamiya weathering kit with soot as one of the colours to blacken up the rear end LOL.
