That’s frightening. I don’t think I would have had the patience.
Great result.

Apologies for not responding on the paint front and scheme, if any. Simple answer is this will be standard British army green. All the pictures I have seen of "Megatron" are green or covered in baracuda cam which, if any after market company would like to produce, I would be interested in buying.

Been some time what with decorating and furniture building, but back on this now. Construction is 96% finished so time for the primer to fly. Whilst things were going well, I also got some colour on the wheels. Tamiya Field Grey (XF-65) thanks Pete, much nicer than the instructions shout of NATO Green.
So this is where things stand at present.    More soon. Tim

Really good looking tank! I love the modern Britsh tanks from Centurion up... and some nice camouflage schemes like is it urban//berlin? Seen that on different sites. I have a Centurion waiting, must get Chieftain and Challenger too.
Yours is really looking good!
May I ask, that ammo feed of vinyl, does that come with the kit or is it aftermarket or is it your own creation?
