babak chalangi AuthorSo far so good
I finished scratch building some key parts or used left over parts from other kits and modified them enough to fit the conversion from Mk.3 to Iranian Mk.5
The MRS, infrared detector, radio box on the side of the turret had to be added
The 3d printed parts are also now fully installed on the turret and the wiring for the head lights are finished
Also using candy wrapping paper I made a gun mantlet cover since the kit was laking

Snake PlisskenWhat a unique variant, a Chieftain in Iranian service. Are reference materials difficult to find for these tanks or do you have access to a museum tank? Thanks for sharing your build! 😎

Villiers de VosThe textured look was very nicely captured. It looks good under paint.
