Basing it loosly on my mates tank he used last year, I'll get some of my full size Challys posted later

Simon,

I'm looking forward to this! I've been thinking seriously of depicting an earlier BATUS Challenger 2 with mine.

Cheers, Tom

I'm working on a template to do the perforated wheels, need to scratch the bowman aerial mounts as well

The yellow-with-green strips BATUS scheme has always been eye-pleasing:

One of mine will be done all black

ALL Black eh !!.............I can send you a Silver Fern to go on it as well if you like

That doesn't look all black. It looks like a very dark green, like the paint scheme scalawag followed for his CR2 build.

DT12AA was painted all black for the amalgamation of 1RTR & 2RTR in 2014, which is why it's now known as the Royal tank regiment, it remained black for a short period before being returned to standard colours

Looks pretty good in black!
