The workbench is at http://www.uamf.org.uk/viewtopic.php?f= ... &start=420

This is our old friend and I have to say that Tamiya's kits, regardless of age are mojo builders.
Hope you guys like this one, it was built for the group build at our local club.

I love these old Tamiya AFV kits, Marek and you have done a mighty fine job of this one. Apparently there are a number of accuracy issues with this kit that upset some Chieftain purists but, what the heck, it looks like a Chieftain therefore it is! Top work.
