The Old Chieftain
I’ve been on an armor kick this summer and this 1/35 Tamiya Chieftain was the first kit I completed of several started. I used Tamiya paints and AK weathering materials. It was a good out of the box build to start getting some of my armor building skills back.

There’s not much wrong with Tamiya’s old Chieftain, and you made the best of it, definitely liked.

Really well done, Scott. The Chieftain is a great older tank and you did her proud!

A very nicely weathered build. I like the shape of the old style Chieftain turret minus all the armor they added on later.

Nice work on a venerable kit! I’ve got one in my stash that I may get out now.

Great work Scott. LOVE the weathering effects. There’s still a lot of life left in the old Tamiya Chieftain if you put the work in. Welcome to the love of Chieftains!!
