[WIP] Twilight of the Chuggin' C
By 1961, the Light Armour units of the Terrastralian Army had, with a few exceptions, largely transitioned from the venerable M24 Chaffee to the M41 Walker Bulldog. The last use of the Chaffee (affectionately known by their crews as 'Chuggin' C's', due to the reliability of the design) was during the 1961 'URBEX' field manoeuvres.
The design of this Chaffee is largely based on the 2011 version of the Brickmania kit (shoutout to Brick Hog for the instructions). After finishing it, I managed to take a look at some photos of the more recent kit and attempted to make some modifications to the model so it better resembled the most recent incarnation, as well as making a few changes to the turret and cupola (searchlight and trans-clear bricks around the edge).
As you can see, it's not perfect; I had to improvise with the gun barrel, and I'm still missing some pieces in dark bley on the turret, but I'm aiming to rectify that ASAP. As always, C&C welcome!
