The Chieftain 900

The Chieftain 900 was an attempt to improve the Chieftain with Chobham armour and a new engine for the export market.  The fact that the Bovington vehicle is painted in overall sand is a strong hint!  The project found no buyers, and the British Army went on to acquire the Challenger I.

This model of the Chieftain 900 is based on the example at The Bovington Tank Museum.  

The model is built using the Cromwell and Airfix Chieftain kits.  The turret and hull front were built up using Miliput putty.
