Chieftain tank in Berlin Brigade urban camouflage scheme (Tamiya 1/35 scale model kit) 

I think it’s great that you are letting us modellers know that it’s ok to build models which aren’t completely historically accurate as we all know it’s meant to be a fun and enjoyable building hobby Thank you

Very nicely down. Thank you for the history of the camo scheme, it is very different from the NATO Woodlands paint scheme we painted our M-60A1s in the 1970s

...the Germans kept bumping in to these tanks because the urban camouflage was so effective

Such a lovely build. Thank you

*This urban camouflage is very nice and uncommon, excellent result!*

Looks great!! Possibly my single favorite thing in modeling is the pulling off of alot of masking to reveal a complex pattern, and not knowing for sure what to expect, i use rattle cans and am very superstitious while waiting!

Fantastic kit, love the chieftain, kudos on your knowledge of the scheme

Seen this pattern at rhe bovington tank museum .. great job

My favourite camo........digital, but without the need for a microscope! Great job......I'm looking now at older Tamiya....they're very nicely priced for sure.

Excellent …like the effect from the dot filter application and the dusting along the bottom. Nice to see a tank not heavily weathered

Hail to the Chief baby. Excellent building and painting as always, friend from across the pond. :-)

Post WW2 is my thing and its nice to see your take on it. I like that you're not getting caught up in the minutiae of what mark etc. A lovely end result.

Such a clean built! Typically I prefer heavier weathering and stuff, but I really enjoy the outcome of your work! The subtle oil weathering and dust coat really do their job in giving the impression of a relatively new, well serviced tank!in terms of suggestions for modern vehicles; I’m into obscure mods like Israeli armor or other 3rd party users of older, refurbished kit. South African Olifant comes to my mind. Also any wheeled vehicle, especially the French ones, are interesting and something different from the regular Leo, Abrams and T-90.

Great vid! 👍

This came out brilliant, I love the colour scheme you've chosen here. Looking forward to some more Spitfire!

Superb! I'll paint this scheme on my Mk 5 too.

a few post ww2 kits would be the last of the British jets and the Falkland islands vessels that Airfix did do

Two hours ago I just finished a 1-32 scale f-4 phantom 2. And great video

Great build.......... 👍👍

Nice build 👍👍

That looks really good. The Chieftain is one of my favourite tanks. I even got to drive one many moons ago. If you fancy more post WW2 tanks try the Miniart T55 or Zvezda T 90. I think these two would make good videos.

Nice work

That looks amazing. But it also looks like it would be a nightmare to do on say... ten to fifteen tanks. But, cheers to you, for making it look easy my guy.

Kudos mate, ex tankie, I drove the Mk 10 before switching to challenger, had to repaint the nato black with a 2 inch brush 🤣👍

Fabulous job on a ‘golden oldie’.👍😎

Absolutely gorgeous and I love your approach to just painting the Mk 5. Keep it up mate; love the channel

Very interesting...nice job

Just gotta luv all that masking LOL Well worth all the effort my friend. Terrific result

Looks great! Love the camouflage. Thanks for sharing. 😎🇨🇦

a really interesting camouflage scheme and a beautiful clean work! :)

Awesome build video!!!! Have actually built this very same kit years ago and painted it in the BAOR (British Army of the Rhine) camo scheme. Have always thought that the British Berlin camo scheme was some of the best and have wanted to build a British vehicle in that scheme - guess I will be giving that a try soon. Yep - will be using this very same kit/vehicle as well. While in US Army and stationed in West Germany during the 1980s, got to train with the British down in Grafenwoehr Training Area once. I also prefer WWII armor but have discovered long ago the beauty of post-war vehicles. Well, you definitely MUST do an M1 Abrams; French Leclerc; German Leopard; British Chieftan; Japanese Type 90 or Type 10; and Soviet vehicles. I do love me some Soviet armor - so simple and straight forward to build.

Excellent, difficult camo scheme plus nice pricing. While not too flashy, an aircraft period you don't see modelers building post war, are Berlin Airlift aircraft. Allies really pulled quite a few variety of cargo ships out for that blockade

Nice final result 👍

Nice result on the camo. For an old kit it really does have some nice detail. As for ideas if we are going British what a bout a landrover. Italeri does a 1/24 that you could detail up

Very nice. 🏅

Merkava II or IV -I love the Merkava IID -it has a shape like no other tank and it bristles with machine guns

Nice find for 10.

good job!

Looked really cool . 👍

Nice paint! love it.

Great video on the Berlin brigade camo, post ww2 depends on what era too, cold War, you could do a land rover wmik or maybe a saladin/saracen. Modern there is quite a bit around. Like the husky tsv, coyote, jackal, super jackal. Mastiff is being released by meng. Accurate armour do alot of niche british subjects, but as its resin it is pretty expensive 😅 but if you do an AA kit, be forewarned, from my experience the destructions are complicated and a bit vague, but the details are immaculate!

Good morning Nerd, the Chieftain came out perfectly, the paint scheme has always amused me, personally I could not be bothered doing but you completed it to perfection, and some of the older Tamiya kits are still some of the best about, what about a Tamiya M60 ( they make about three) best regards from a Kiwi living in Australia.

Nicely done sir

You should build a Conqueror by Amusing hobbies, big behemoth of a tank, I've built 3 of them, a MK 1 and 2 MK 2's, 1 has spaced armour, but beware of the rubber tracks they come apart over time, I bought friulmodel tracks for them and fixed that problem, always loved the camo pattern but don't think I could do it any justice and who cares if your model isn't historically accurate, looks good and so long as your happy with it, that's all that matters.

great job.

Nice work as always MN! I've never built modern armor 'cause it doesn't interest me - only WW2 stuff (with the exception of one Vietnam diorama). But if I were you I'd build all the big guns of the 80s: Abrams, Challenger, Leopard, Merkeva, Leclerc, T-90, etc.

I saw a couple docus on the Chieftain and this style camo... they tsted it on a mark 5 if I remember right.

Neat!

After you put down each mask... you should have sprayed lightly the former color first .. that would have stopped the blead and overspray .

Hey would you say this is an ok tank for a beginner?

Great work ivegot this you done a better job than me sir. Why are you running down the stash did the wife tell you to lol?

You didn't tell us how long between painting and masking. New paint can be removed with masking tape. Cheers

Very nice result, I am tryng to build exactly the same camo with the same kit. Do you mind sharing what paint colour you used for your cannon thermal sleeve? Thanks!

I assume you used an air brush and if so how much did you need to thin the Tamiya paints

🤝👍

👍

Lovely job. The Berlin camo scheme is a really interesting, if not challenging subject to model. I've built a MK10 in 1/100 scale on my channel a while back and only just posted a video of an FV432/30 in the same scale and scheme. Too small to mask so opted for the hairy stick approach! How about a Gulf War Scimitar CVRT?

Can you build the flakpanzer gepard, the two barrel anti aircraft tank with the radar on it's back? nice build!!

Build the most built tank and best looking tank in the world T54/55

Hi there how about a lepard tank???

wow, nice. thanks.

Hi MN, great detailed build. I like the working hatches. That's a great touch to show friends how good you can build. LOL I'd like to comment on the taping for painting. Are you aware of the trick which calls for a clear coat over the tape to prevent bleeding? It seals the rough edge that tape alone can't close as it doesn't adhere entirely flat against the plastic. Just sharing a thought. See you soon sir. PS The camo scheme seems so erratic, I wouldn't know how the enemy could count them. Especially during the 'fog of battle'.
