chieftain

You still got any chieftain tank bits bob

Sadly I couldn't be there this year my back is really bad at the moment but it looked a great show

I missed the show as i forgot it was on,and missed seeing the chieftain mbt,i wonder if it is going to the nostalgia weekend at croft on 6th/7th of august but who owns the chieftain please

do you have the army reg no for the striker,if so i shall see if i can get any vehicle history on it for you

i got the nato green from the army place near derby and yes it was a foam roller.if i knew how to upload a photo i could show you my first attempt

i tried using a roller for the green paint but it melted the roller.the black paint i got from wilkinsons.

i had to paint it as it was market trader white

tankie 1rtr what was the reg no of your chieftain as i may have an in service shot of it

i have a sprinter van that i painted black and green by hand but i made a mess of it.does anybody know how i get the proper paint scheme sorted as i want it to look right,i tried to paint it the same as my chieftain i used to drive but a five year old could have done better.im also having problems trying to mount the clansman side stalk mounts so any help would be great.

many thanks
