I'm liking it Buzzy ..had a thought about upgrading it a wee bit more with a Commanders Independent Thermal Viewer CITV.. :wacko:
If it aint broke ,,fix it until it is .
Over kill is often very understated .
I know the voices in my head ain't real but they do come up with some great ideas.
Theres few of lifes problems that can't be solved with the proper application of a high explosive projectile .

No I don't think so, probably taken it is far as I intend to

Having said that, this is the final tweak, if the Turbine makes the tank faster, then perhaps a track revision might make sense. to include rubber pads.
These are Leopard Tracks and I reckon I will go with them



The start of this train of thought was a pack of Resin Centurion Hush Puppy tracks if had in the tracks drawer.  The combination of not having a spare Centurion drive sprocket (the sprocket teeth layout is a lot narrower) and the fact that they were resin which required a bit of heat and bend business, killed of that plan, but some rubber Leopard tracks... why not.

Buzzy mate the track upgrade is a very nice and smart idea..that tank will be able to move quite a bit quicker now 😀

You can always start with the primer & work up from there, BT. ;)

That of course raises the question..colours ..what camo to paint it?.
Could just go with British dark green or OD ..then just weather to lighten it up abit.

A different but simple scheme would be either British forces in Aden, or Jordanian.

Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

Berlin Block gets my vote as well.
the things you learn, give your mind the wings to fly, and the chains to hold yourself steady
take off and nuke the site form orbit, nope, time for the real thing, CAM and gridfire, call special circumstances. 
wow, its like freefalling into the Geofront
