Well done Bird. Fun hobby. I sometimes build electronics. I've done guitar pedals and hifi amplifiers etc. The detail work is similar to your model building. I really enjoy it but it gets expensive. Cheers amigo. I hope all is well with you and yours.

[@ABirdInTheHand]

Thanks kindly SOx . I haven't got the savvy to be doing electronics lol. Although I have seen some awesome kits built with electronics added to them. Model kits can be expensive too, this was one of the cheapest tanks I could find on amazon. Hope all is well with you and yours too my friend. Take Care

Nicely done, this kits on my 'to do' list, may want to change your title though as it's a Chieftain!

[@ABirdInTheHand]

Ooooops lol. You're right !!! I dont know where I got Churchill from hahaha. Thanks for pointing that out to me ! Thanks for watching lol

[@WakeyRC444eYupLad]

Great job Simon, who is it insured by.

[@ABirdInTheHand]

Cheers Paul,,,, lmao,,, gotta be the talking dog !

[@greggo34]

looks really good. i hope to be getting that tank in the next month. What color did you use on tracks? i like the dirt look.

[@ABirdInTheHand]

Thanks kindly sonnymv. For the tracks I used some old Humbrol Matt 29. It was quite old and gritty but looked good when I applied it. Good luck with the build.

[@greggo34]

@@ABirdInTheHand does it crumble off the tracks? i mean, i won't lose any of it if i move my tank around when my wife does thew dusting:)

[@ABirdInTheHand]

@@greggo34 I've not had any issues with it falling off as its a paint and not the powder type weathering.

[@markrobson6375]

It's not a Churchill! It's a Chieftain

[@ABirdInTheHand]

Yes you're quite right Mark. Thats why the title of the video says Chieftain and also the description. I made a mistake while creating the opening still image
