Cold War Revell Challenger 1

With the weather here constantly less than rosy at the moment, it seems to be affecting my progress over the last week. In order to get my mojo back I have started on a tank kit as being a tread head, tanks always make me happy!

As Al gets stuck into his British Cold War under strength Company of Chieftain MBT’s I am attempting to add a Challenger I to my two die cast versions to form a full strength Unit.

The Revell kit is well thought of and my initial findings correspond with the good reviews it gets, so that’s bound to speed up the build anyway.

The lack of pics is due to the fact that my boy decided to use all my Internet allocation for the month while I was in Burnham the over week, leaving me with very, very slow connection speeds at the moment, and major problems uploading onto blogger due to time outs. Freakin’kids!

  7. Hi Monty, cheers for that, and I am wondering how I will ensure a good fit in regard to the cam schemes with the Revell kit and the die cast models.

    Regards Paul

  10. Hi Tim, yes it took a while but we are getting there. Takes time to find 70 tonne class bridges here in the colonies.

    Cheers
