Hey there oddball!

Just been doing some work on a 1/48 Chieftan MBT... and yupski!!!! the telephone wire worked a treat on engine compartment, chears!.

Now all i need to do is give it the "special" Treatment... set up some little extra's like speakers, a lengh of pipe for the main gun tube to fool the ruskies into thinking "like its maybe a 145mm..." and a WWII yank commander along with a driver with Fez and a bunch of GI's riding on the back.

Here's a thought, do you think the special APESH rounds the Jerries had in 44/45 for the Jag panthers/Tigers and KingTigers could do for a Chieftan? Been planning a little tabletop campaign using Micro Armor and an alternate time line (like a BOAR armoured brig. jumping back in time to June 44 and showing up in time for "goodwood", "supercharge" and Marketgarden" to see if " berlin by xmas" could have been even remotely viable).

"To a Berliner like you a "hero" is some sort of weird smoked sausage,
Not some Dumkof that takes on three Chieftans..."
