Reply With QuoteGood luck with the wallpapering.
I have the Up Armour version also a trumpeter kit. We do seam to have a good spread of kit makes in this build. It will be fun to see how they compare.

Finally got my backside down to the post office to pick up my Trumpeter Challenger plus the Eduard etch set, I went for this one in the end
Sprue shots etc. to follow (when I've finnished wallpapering the bedroom)

This looks like a nice kit andy i have the same version except in tamiya, trumpeter is supposed to have some nice detail.

Scott, the Tamiya kit's supposed to be a cracker, should be interesting to see the contrast. I'm waiting on a new gun barrel from China now and still haven't decided on the figures yet
Anyway plenty of opportunity for loads of dust on the pair of them
All the extra work on my guntruck and overtime at work is holding up everything else right now, hopefully get started on the Challenger some time next week, it's a good job it's a 6 month build

Here are the sprue shots. I hope to start glueing bits together soon
The quality of the moulding looks very good and it seems like I've got lucky with the tracks, mine seem to be almost perfect
There are decals for 4 different tanks but it doesn't specify in the instructions what any of them are, plus there's no colour sheet with this one either but I suppose it's not really necessary for an all over sand colour scheme. There's no PE included but in fairness there's lots of plastic for 17 quid
And here's the extra bits, Eduard PE and Lionmarc barrel

Looks good andy look forward to following the progress.

Here's a few pics showing the acres of etched brass (well it felt like acres to me) before primer is applied
I've really enjoyed this build so far, it's given me a definite taste to do more modern stuff in the future
Anyhow, this is what it looks like following the last 2 weeks of superglueing tiny pieces of metal to my fingers
Cheers, Andy

Good stuff Andy. Looks like you got the better of all the PE.
How many times do you think you will snap/bend those antenna while painting it???
A nice clean build. Now lets see a nice dirty paint job! :-)
