New Workshop! And Cold start on

A quick progress update on…
New workshop
T-34
Centurion AVRE
Chieftain MK11 

[@allycannon]

The Cheiftain has to have one of the best engine sounds! 👌🤤

[@chrisyork7534]

its 2 stroke diesel im pretty sure they always sound good

[@ferventheat]

6 bore 12 cylinder I'm led to understand

Just like the centurion, it looks absolutely perfect. From the turret, the hull the tracks

[@JeffrikOG9]

I was just thinking that

[@zollyy]

@@F4Wildcat I prefer the Vickers Mk.1 over the centurion but still another great tank.

[@tankrider6897]

only real problem it has is the engine, that leyland is so unreliable atleast on the early models

And a pleasure to serve on,as long as you had a good engine

Pretty sweet toys! That chieftain sound!

[@williamallen6756]

Unmistakable sound of a Cheiftain. Glorious.

[@kwinterburn]

Love the sounds of the Leyland in the Chieftain it's starts with a roar ... then after a few hours a strange whining sound, then a grumbling , then a clanking and chain sound, then russling of paper , then grumbling then a whack of hammer on engine

[@shunnp4175]

A cent AVRE I learned to drive one of them in bovington in 92 bloody lovely! Had a runaway engine with a chieftain , it was bogged in a deep pit on bovington area engine bay eventually filled with water until the surface film of oil got sucked into the air filter, Boom!!

I mean artillery and tanks are pretty hard to conceal compared to small arms, and are better for defending a country these days... Second amendment should get with the times! :)

[@NitroNuggetTV]

@@maral2014 i dunno, having to bring a chieftain everywhere you go for self defence seems a bit excessive and unpractical.

Say I have bought the tank already, how much would it roughly cost to get the engine tuned up and get the tank legalized to transfer to the us and how much does shipping something like that even cost

[@alasdairmeredith2711]

so is the tank going in a shipping container stripped down or as a hole just lifted onto the ships deck?

[@Robert-cu9bm]

Most likely a specialist roll on roll off ship. Container ships aren't suitable for one off items.

[@matui6983]

Why not fit one or two CAV Thermostarts to the Chieftan engine? Will improve starting.

[@williamorton7600]

Doesn't the Cheiftan have glo plugs to help cold start?
