With great expectations I have finally opened my brand new Cheiftain tank. I have been waiting for this moment for years. So far I have organized my fixings and got rid of all thats horrible pva packing.

One thing I noticed is the instruction manual doesn’t tell you which box the parts is in, unlike the Leopard I have just built unless I am missing something.

This is all old hat to you guys who have almost certainly built all your chieftains as it was released in 2019 so I am lagging best part of 6 years.

Wish me luck.

Good luck Martin, hope it all goes well. Looking forward to seeing your build on the forum.
Are you going full R/C or boat anchor (static)?
Your right that packing certainly does takes time to chew through,
Lots of advice on the forum and good weight lifters belt will come in handy too.

No paper weight. Full option packs for me. Can’t really afford them at the moment, just retired so got to be a bit more careful with money. Will have to sell some something.

Good to hear.
Apparently you can get by with one kidney if you don't over do it.
Once built, Chieftain will look good side by side with the Leo.

I am a new to the page Chieftain rebuilder. Looking forward to seeing your work .
Mine has been built to a good standard however I want to rebuild it using all the valuable experience and advice on here.
Also it's going to be sprayed Berlin urban.
