British Challenger 2 Progress pics...

Posted by Dwight Ta-ala on Thursday, December 18, 2003 6:04 PM

This kits has so many tiny parts that take forever to clean and glue. Well at least I got good progress last night doing the initial paint job.

After doing the camo on the turret and the hull, I worked on the roadwheels applying some weathering before I put them in position. These could be hard to reach when the side skirts are already on.

Here are the first progress pics on the paint job:

Next stop: Painting of the tracks, paint detailing, decals and some light weathering.

I should be able to complete this by tomorrow.

Looking good Dwight. I'm naive about the Challenger, are the wheels a different color from the rest of the vehicle? What colors did you use?

Sherm: A kit this size is quite difficult to hide in the office. LOL. But I can pretend that I am working while posting. Thanks.

Tigerman: The roadwheels have already been weathered and mudded up that's why the color is different. When I attach the side skirts it would be difficult to do the weathering of the roadwheels so I did it while the skirts are still off.

Alex: Thanks.

Looking good, Dwight! How's the kit in itself? How's good old Trumpeter faring against kits you've built before??
