Re: Chieftain Mk V scratch build
Found a couple of figures that kind of fitted, the one guy needed a beret and they both needed a change of uniform
at least now I have a crew!

Re: Chieftain Mk V scratch build
Very impressive when it's all in green, Alwyn. Looking a lot more military now!
It's telephone wire for when the troop is camped in their bivouac overnight, to run an intercom between the tanks for secure and reliable communications.AlwynTurner wrote:One of the last bits for the turret is the reel for the side of the turret. I have no idea whether it's water, fuel, or a power lead.

Re: Chieftain Mk V scratch build
I looked at the searchlight and decided that it falls under the heading of 'Must try harder - 4 out of 10'
Here's the improved version - should be suitable for fitting an lcd bulb

Re: Chieftain Mk V scratch build
On the finishing straight now I think. Here is the towhook for front and back
It needs to be printed at 1mm layer height

Re: Chieftain Mk V scratch build
Hmm no in all the excitement I missed that one. I#ll do it later today. Good spot. Incidentally the pic is of he Mark 10, but the part also exists on he Mark V. The radio box on turret front rhs doesn't exist on the Mark V.
