Hi all. I think this is the safest subform to request for pictures. I'm currently building a 1/35 Chieftain Mk11 model tank and I'm giving it a full interior. Anyone has pictures of the following? 1) Turret, under the TC's seat 2) Turret, in front of the gunner's seat 3) Turret, metadynes 4) Turret batteries and compartment 5) The turret mechanism which makes the turret turn 6) Fighting compartment, bulkhead separating the fighting compartment and the engine compartment 7) Engine bay without the engine I think that be all, I forgot the others. Thanks for the assist.

Thanks for the warm welcome, guys. Melchy: Are you a Filipino too or at least know our customs?

Hello. I'm Tomas posting from the Philippines and I came across this site looking for interior pictures of the Chieftain MBT. First off, I am a plastic modeler, and I must admit my hobby pales in comparison to the hobby/work you guys do in restoring real military vehicles. I build usually modern armor at 1/35 scale because I suck at building anything else. One of my builds, a 1/35 Challenger, is featured at Armorama (you can read here) My current project is a super-detailed 1/35 Chieftain. I am using the old Tamiya Chieftain kit and converting it into a Mk11. Some pix can be found here) If it is ok, I will be asking some of the Chieftain owners/restorers here for some interior pictures of their Chieftains. I already have a lot from various internet sources, but there are still "blank areas" to fill. If it is also ok, I would like to give some small contribution by posting in-progress pictures of my Chieftain model project as it goes along. Professionally, I am a lawyer (so cue in the lawyer jokes) in the Philippines. My chief interests are in military history and mil-tech. Other than that, I'm a boring person. Thank you. Regards, Tomas EDIT: PS. Great site.
