Armortek

still loving every second of this build Phil, amazing work and so many hints and tips for those of us less gifted. Thankyou on behalf of the forum as a whole, those of us with Chieftains to build in particular.

Phil, your build is compelling reading as usual. Really appreciate your posts, which are invaluable to us “amateurs”. Richard, I used this stuff on my Centurion, although the required profile wasn’t quite fully half round. It’s easy to lay these strips flat side down on sandpaper and achieve the pro...

Such awful news- I’m absolutely gobsmacked. Like many of our community I was lucky to have met Gill in person on a few occasions. She was such a lovely person.

Also nice to know there’s some Cent stuff in the mix.
Cheers

If you need to know what a shovel recce is, please don't PM me.

I suspect us civvies could hazard an educated guess.

Thanks Youngjae.
Sounds like good news on the whole then and the tank assembly is proving mostly straightforward.
Keep up the good work
Kevin

Grief..... give the man a break

Hi Youngjae
The speed of your build is impressive and it is great to see the first of these Chieftains coming alive before our eyes. My question for you - how are you finding it? Is it going together well or have you had any issues?

It’ll be in the last place you look....

Looking forward to it nonetheless
