Chieftain Mk 10 Berlin Camouflage 1/35 Meng
Quick update on the Chieftain now moved onto painting the skirts it should be the final paint required along with track construction which in my opinion is absolutely hideous.

Super Conqueror Amusing Models 1/35
Well here is the final set of armour and I must say it’s a great disappointment.
