All it does is it saves the original so if you spellcheck it and changed it during the timeout it won’t... -

Tamiya 1/35 Challenger 1 Mk3 Desertised
Here’s the latest update the main hull has now been joined to the bottom of the tank and tracks have been installed. These were sewn together as opposed to glueing or hot welding.

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. Let me explain the jig that they use is brilliant. Can’t fault it. The only problem is after putting the pins in using...- Bigfoot57

Chieftain Mk 10 Berlin Camouflage 1/35 Meng
Right since my last posting I’ve been painting the main hull of the tank finally got to finish which I’m happy with so all that’s left to do now is the side skirts the tracks which obviously you’ve got to be done before the side skirts go on well, you should be able to clip the side skirts on so...- Bigfoot57

Super Conqueror Amusing Models 1/35
Well here is the final set of armour and I must say it’s a great disappointment. It looks like something Delboy and Rodney would’ve made no wonder it never went in production luckily for us it was the Genesis for the Chieftain which will be my next model? I’m planning on doing the Berlin...- Bigfoot57
