Chieftain MBT with Gas Turbine engine

[Buzzbomb]

Thanks team, the painting was much easier than last time I tried it, I suppose the experience helped, but it is also the 3rd crack at Berlin Brigade scheme.

I hope you don't mind if I post this link so people can read a bit about the original inspiration:  https://tanks-encyclopedia.com/uk-coldwar-fv200-turbine-test-vehicle/

More than happy, I used the same article as a refresher on the Brit progress on the the whole turbine development program

Well that is about it.
What if perhaps a Gas Turbine version of the Chieftain was developed and went on to be part of BAOR during the late 80's through to the 90's ?

Other than an Antenna or two, that got overlooked,  I am calling it.

Engine Deck differences


I must say though, that the earlier BB chieftain on the right, was done a fair while ago using less information than is available today in books,
Hopefully you folks have enjoyed the Turbine Whine ride

Looking good

Great finish, BT!

Looks like the TC's not a fan of the Turbine Whine, though.

It came out great and the Berlin camo pattern always looks good.

Looking like legitimate gas turbine Chieftain on the outside to me.  Interesting choice of subject.  Camo is appropriately distracting to the eye.
