Re: Chieftain build by Phil Woollard.
I've had a very productive day, more photos tomorrow. Oh and a box of goodies arrived from the States as well. How much detail do I go into with this build guys? You all know how to prep and paint by now.
does anyone know of a supplier of 7.62 link in metal perchance?

Nice to see other Armortek owners getting their own special mention in the Chieftain instructions

Great to see Chieftain builds underway Phil. There's nothing like getting stuck in, otherwise the navel gazing could go on and on.
