about 90% done before paint just checking for the little thing`s I might have missed.
I have had no issues with the fit so far just got to be careful when cutting parts off the sprue as the gates are rather large for the small pieces

nice having been looking at that kit for a while.

I love Takoms box art. It really gets a person to look.
AND the build shows this to be a nice looking kit as well.

Chieftain in primer . as I know someone in the scots guard I am going to paint the Tank in the scots dragoon guards colour`s.
so to get some tonal variation I have primed in Ultimate black and added a white pattern.
