First driving trial as I have now moved into the new workshop and the only way to get it there was to drive it. It so big!

One for the record books Phil. The level of detail is off the charts. So many fine details. You really put your heart into this one - its hard to tell the model from a real Chieftain. Awesome job! Really like the two tone camo.
Best regards,
B

Hi Phil,
Just wanted to go on the forum and compliment you on the awesome work you have put into this Chieftain build.
Its has been a fun journey watching you take the already amazing kit that Armortek produce and turning it into a Museum piece.
For anyone looking to have an Armortek kit built by a true master. I recommend Phil as my personal experience through the process has been more than I could have wished for.
My biggest problem now if that anything else I build will look very amateurish. See Below

All I will need now is a Challenger and I will have the set of post war British Medium Tanks.
I look forward to seeing this kit in the flesh when you are happy to let her go.
Stay Healthy.

I just can't do anymore in the workshop today as it's approaching 40 Celsius in there but I have endured 6 hrs.
Does anybody have a photo of the entry point of the power cable of the search light sphere please?
