Hi All,
Just joined today, my primary reason is to gather as much information as I can on building a Chieftain main battle tank.
Cheers,
Gary

Hi Gary, Welcome to the Forum
The very first question is Who are you buying the Chieftain from?
I ask because there are some dealers in our hobby who will not have your best interests at heart whereas there are some top quality dealers who will bend over backwards to look out for you,
Second, Where in the World are you ?
We have a worldwide membership and knowing where you are denotes which dealers we would recommend. I hope the questions that you ask help with your build,
Please keep us up to date.

What scale are you aiming to build it in?
Ohhh & welcome to the madhouse

Hi Gary, I've got a Chieftain chassis if you are looking for a starter - pm me if interested.
BTW welcome to the forum and happy tanking, you will find this hobby adictive and very likely to stress your bank balance and the relationship with she who must be obeyed

Or you could rope she whom must be obeyed in and have her paint them like I do if I build something that needs a cammo pattern
It’s your tank it’s what you make it
