Revell Challenger MBT in 1:72

Posting some work from several years ago hoping it will motivate me to get something new built. Life events including a cross country move put a dent in my already mediocre motivation and productivity at the bench. Now that I finally have a hobby room again it’s time to quit making excuses.

This was a fun build and my first armor in 1:72 and the kit went together really nicely. I’m not sure about the color selection and to be honest I don’t remember what I used but I believe it was a MM emamel. It was weathered with pastels, graphite pencil and a black water based ink wash. Looking at the photos the white balance is all over the map too and clearly I need to work on lighting and white balance in my pics.

Oh wow if I built something that nice I’d be building more! [ht]

Great job!!!

Nicely done, your post says Revell, but the photos say Trumpeter.

Thats a nice looking Chally 1, colour looks good.

Gamera, thanks you are too kind.

Rob, thanks and I would trust your observations more than my memory lol.

Bish, Thank you.

Beautiful work; especially in 1/72! I am very impressed and you definitely need to get back to building more now that you’re settled in.

This Challenger is very well done. The desert weathering is perfect.

M1 GarandFan and TigerII thank you very much.
