discussion Completed papa 695s 1/48 Challenger MK 1 ( Cosford £5 or under GB )

[papa 695]

Well I'm calling this one done. For a cheap kit there is some nice detail. I've added some stowage but that's all. It does have a motor but the hull fits too tight and the tracks don't turn. All paints Vallejo.

Top work Ian and it looks ten times what you paid for it, i rather like the gatepost base too - better than most of the bases ive made! Cheers tony

Looks rather good for a fiver Ian :thumb2:

I have two or three 1/48 kits by A.N.Other that I picked up at Beltring - they all turned out to have the same generic wheels and horrible rubbery tracks and motorisation. Make good loft insulation though

Superb work and result Ian, and all for under 5 pounds. Nice!

 

[papa 695]

It's now on a base.

Rather splendid. It's nice when a cheap kit turns out this good.
