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.
