The Last AFV in 2023, then i will shift to share Sci-fi kits. After PLA MBT, let change to UK, its last generation MBT: FV4201 Chieftain Mk.5. Chieftain has many variants & camo, certainly i know none of them. This Mk.5 is came with FV432 by Takom, nice moulding & details. I chose soft green camo on sand body, then applied sand texture paint after wash & drybrushing. And Merry X'Mas. 就這樣 2023 年第六十一作 (累計上色成品第 三 五 四 號) 入櫃了。
