Re: Chieftain Mk V scratch build
I kept looking at the headlights and didn't like the shape, they needed a rounded part at the back, so I designed some rear covers for the headlights

This is the bit where Alwyn says 'I just realised that the hull is the wrong width, and the suspension is incorrect - so I will redesign them'

Re: Chieftain Mk V scratch build
OH DEAR.... 
Wayne I always leave the painting until last as you can't stick plastic to paint....
You may have to sand the paint off the bits that you are glueing together in order to get a good join, that's why my tank is totally unpainted at the moment as there are loads of bits still to glue on.
Anyway it's great to see you making such good progress, the hull looks spot on, but I strongly advise against paining the upper hull until nearer completion.

Re: Chieftain Mk V scratch build
Upper hull is paint free, phew!
