New owner of a Chieftain

[Clive Armitage]

I haven't read as much since I left school and have learnt a great deal and the journey everyone has had correcting mistakes.The turret top on mine has been machined off centre I have done my best to strike a balance on correcting this however one side was just a few millimeters out which I just didn't want to leave
I cut a strip of aluminium to correct the error.
This was then glued and pinned into place probably no one will ever notice however I know it's now done.

Can anyone help me locate a replacement machine gun stock it didn't come with the tank do you know who supplied them thank you.
I'm sorry my photographs are not in the correct order and even upside down I will improve.

If I click on the pictures, they end up in the correct orientation (MS Edge browser). Not sure why they're not right in the thread.

Having worked on the giant Viper predecessor to the python. I wanted to add the Python weapon system to the chieftain. It will be out of time line the Cheftion would have towed the mark one Viper.
It's coming out nicely scratch built however as everyone on here knows there is much to do.

I have been very quiet due to having surgery.
Managed a few hours in the workshop, making the 1/6 scale ammunition and putting together a 135th scale engine and gearbox for a display.
