Any ideas what a "command" chieftain looks like? I assume extra aerials? |

I wouldn't put too much baggage over the rear engine deck unless you want your Chieftains getting really hot in that desert sun. Not that they ever overheated mind… |

The stowage is "inspired" from period photos, admittedly the stowage on the one nearest the camera has moved forward slightly and should be more over the rear box ( yes, I know there's exhausts there as well!) Wait until I put the sandbags on the turret!!!!! |

Nice: where did you source your excellent stowage? John T |

I'm not sure there's much market for ME style chieftain stowage! BRitish Chieftains are a bit more organised! BUt will knock some more conservative loads for the baskets for you when I start the next batch. ( they can go with the smoke dischargers!) |

For the smoke dischargers there are spare sets in the TY Abrams kit |
