How to Build & Modelling Tips
To maximize results:
- Dry-fit all major assemblies (hull, turret) before gluing to ensure alignment.
- Paint interior/undercarriage parts separately before final assembly to reach hidden areas.
- For tracks, consider adding slight sag for realism if using flexible versions.
- Use panel washes, filters and pigment dust to accent the casting, weathering, and edges.
- Consider additional stowage, barrels, or figure placement to bring the scene to life.

Why Add This Kit to Your Collection?
The Chieftain represented a leap in British tank design with heavy armor, powerful main gun, and advanced features. For modelers, it offers both historical significance and a modern silhouette. It works particularly well in Cold War or desert Dioramas, standing out in any armour lineup.
