Challenger I WIP

[wing_nut]

Hi All
1 st post here at T&T. May as well start with what I'm working on now. This is the Tamiya Challenger 1 Mk.3. Older kit with a few fit issues and more with stuff that is just the wrong shape or left off. Gives me a chance to work on my scratch building, which I haven't had the opportunity to do that much. One of the major components was the rear storage bin. The cover hinges were backwards and instead of being rounded the corners were angled.

Not sure what a Challenger is but that's some mighty fine work going on Wingnut.

Welcome aboard, glad you made it.

Whoa ! Hey,WOW!

Hi there Wingnut.


That is some fine looking work you have started on there.It is going to be nice having you around to show us all the neat stuff you know how to do.

How about stopping in the "Jenny's Friends" thread and introducing yourself to us all? And if you have the time and workspace, maybe consider joining one of the group builds.

That is some really nice scratch work. Any ideas on how you will paint and decal it?
