Scalawags Challenger 2 build
Re: Scalawags Challenger 2 build
Paul,
It looks great with the markings, and thanks for sharing your lettering resource. I had been curious about the vinyl material, but thought it would be too thick to be realistic; your impressions have changed my mind.
Cheers, Tom

Very nice Paul, the weathering will be great on this one.
Black is very subtle.

Re: Scalawags Challenger 2 build
I'm just getting caught up with your build, and it really does look authentic with the weathering and finish! Nice work on the ammo can and mg as well. Very nice!

This really looks fantastic. Super realism at it's finest. Following this build has been fun, makes me want to get a modern tank to battle with. Perfect job on all points. Congrats.

Re: Scalawags Challenger 2 build
Paul,
Good morning. I had my doubts about that metal MG but you brought it to life with scratch building and ammo belt. I could not agree more with the use of the excellent Tamiya weathering kits. You have used them here to perfection. Realism definitely achieved! This is one of the finest looking modern tanks out there.
regards,
Painless
