Thanks guys. I've added a few more pics and will try to shoot some with daylight too. It was really a pleasure to build this plane. Of course some minor issues here and there but overall a very good quality kit.

What a beauty 🙂

Marco Gallmann
One word: perfect!

Spanjaard
what a beautiful bird you have done. painting looks simply amazing. lots of polishing involved i supposed. truly gorgeous.

B. M.
Danke Bernhard, thanks everybody 🙂
Spanjaard - as for polishing: Yes, there has been quite a lot of polishing involved, but this time mainly before the painting! The surface of the parts was rather grainy and needed a serious polish before applying the first layer of color. Afterwards I just polished slightly the base red to get the dust particles off and then I loaded a good layer of Alclad Aqua Gloss which is, IMHO, certainly among the better clear coats.

Cheers

very nice, Benoit ! you add more details, walkstep, antenna, luminescent band, it's homemade ?

Spanjaard
Thanks for the info Benoit 🙂

Mike Grant
Immaculate: beautiful work 👍

Ed Froix
Mega clean and painted build, Super!!

Ed Froix
Is that the original canopy? It looks like it is very thin and really looks like glass.

Choppa Nutta
great finish 🙂

B. M.
Thanks guys.
@gtiery: yes, antennas, footstep, aoa sensor are homemade.
Pitot is from a gun set (either from B-17 or Hellcat accessories)
Formation light (lumin band) and walkways are decal stripes from xtradecal sheet
Static discharger are photoetched (If I recall rught, from eduard)

@ed: Canopy is the original, dipped two times in future (klir)

The canopy lacks actually the detonation cord...if someone has a good hint for future reference....
Decal was not provided for it (it would have been anyways very difficult to add it, because of the canopy's strong curve(bow)
My attempt to build one out of sprue failed miserably...

3d designing and replacing the air filter of the tamiya kit with correct storage compartment of iranian chieftain

babak chalangi
So far so good
I finished scratch building some key parts or used left over parts from other kits and modified them enough to fit the conversion from Mk.3 to Iranian Mk.5
The MRS, infrared detector, radio box on the side of the turret had to be added
The 3d printed parts are also now fully installed on the turret and the wiring for the head lights are finished
Also using candy wrapping paper I made a gun mantlet cover since the kit was laking

Snake Plissken
What a unique variant, a Chieftain in Iranian service. Are reference materials difficult to find for these tanks or do you have access to a museum tank? Thanks for sharing your build! 😎

babak chalangi
Thank you, I have access to a damaged chieftain in a museum but if you want to build an iranian chieftain without the hustle go for takom they have an iranian chieftain in 1/35

Nick N
Looks very promising!
