[@ABirdInTheHand]

[@allgood6760]

Awesome 👍

[@ABirdInTheHand]

Thanks kindly !

[@Sonic_Ox]

Well done Bird. Fun hobby. I sometimes build electronics. I've done guitar pedals and hifi amplifiers etc. The detail work is similar to your model building. I really enjoy it but it gets expensive. Cheers amigo. I hope all is well with you and yours.

[@ABirdInTheHand]

Thanks kindly SOx . I haven't got the savvy to be doing electronics lol. Although I have seen some awesome kits built with electronics added to them. Model kits can be expensive too, this was one of the cheapest tanks I could find on amazon. Hope all is well with you and yours too my friend. Take Care

[@mikesrcgarage]

[@greggo34]

looks really good. i hope to be getting that tank in the next month. What color did you use on tracks? i like the dirt look.

[@ABirdInTheHand]

Thanks kindly sonnymv. For the tracks I used some old Humbrol Matt 29. It was quite old and gritty but looked good when I applied it. Good luck with the build.

[@greggo34]

@@ABirdInTheHand does it crumble off the tracks? i mean, i won't lose any of it if i move my tank around when my wife does thew dusting:)

[@ABirdInTheHand]

@@greggo34 I've not had any issues with it falling off as its a paint and not the powder type weathering.

👍👍👍

[@markrobson6375]

It's not a Churchill! It's a Chieftain

[@ABirdInTheHand]

Yes you're quite right Mark. Thats why the title of the video says Chieftain and also the description. I made a mistake while creating the opening still image
