Repetitious but here's another unboxed Tongde Chaffee

Post by michaelwhittmann »

My initial reaction was "I should have stuck with Heng Long" but I'm
going to work it up and see what I can make of it. I'll report any findings.

I did a little research on the Chaffee. The British Desert Rats Division
used the Chaffee in France, Market Garden, and Germany
in recon capacity.

So I'm going make in British. Hopefully I find British tank decals.
And a British camo pattern and commander. If anyone has a website for these LMK.

Weathering time.

Did you make the mistake of getting the plastic edition?

I did a little research on the Chaffee. The British Desert Rats Division used the Chaffee in France, Market Garden,
I would be highly skeptical of those sources, first combat use of the Chaffee is generally accepted to be by the 740th US tank battalion during the Bulge.
