Gulf War 30th Anniversary Campaign

Okay, finally decided what I am going to do. A bit of self flagellation in styrene and resin. Chieftain ARRV (Armoured Recovery and Repair Vehicle) Accurate Armour and Tamiya Chieftain as base kit as called for by AA

This is a second hand kit, so I hope all the bits are there. I also worked out why the guy sold it. Poorly homogenised resin in places, broken bits and lots of air holes and poor castings. He must have started filling holes, then gave up …

Front hull poor resin mix. I hope this does not bleed. Some breaks here too:

Swiss cheese:


Poor casting:

Banana effect:

Bad etch. This was in a sealed packet, so clearly a factory botch, not the other owner…
