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

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.
