Now that's a great looking tank Mr Sponge. A lot less 'busy' than the Abrams.
The much overlooked NATO scheme seems to suit the slab-sided Challenger :thumbup:

Cheers Paul, going to try a dusty/ muddy look with this one so alot of weathering to do! Looking forward to seeing what you do with yours more than likely you will come up with something i forgot! Hey Herman cheers mate don't think am quite at your standard yet! We need to get you into the modern armour would love to see what you would do! Your right about the less busy look, there almost streamlined/ prototype like until you get to the back panel that is! Anyway cheers guys will update soon!

Started the periscope glass today, just some smoked Perspex I pinched from work shaped to fit with some Tamiya clear blue in the back,I know it should be red but I only had blue! But will do me, only 10 odd more to go!
