Personally not in to later tanks, but that is a stunner! I too love those tracks. Nice work.

Pleasant alternative to the dominant desert livery, Ian :thumbup: I also like the detailing. Scalawag's Chally project had some interesting inclusions too; and he provided an engaging diversion with it when the Chally was the hot topic early last year. Pity he's not around currently.
Like Ecam, I'm not much interested in modern armour...being centred, as I am, around my Dad's war (WW2) and Grandfather's too (WW1). That said, I have a Chally, and might well poach your paint scheme for it :thumbup: :wave: Hope you don't mind!

Perhaps the proposed (now realised) spec for the Chally was posted on another thread; but initially this was posted with 'no comment' (bit like 'Euronews.. :problem: ). Externally this beaut is a treat for the eyes, and sports features well worth imitating; but I just wonder what's on the inside? I'd guess..given the day job :D ..that you've put an IBU3 in there, but what else lies under the bonnet?
