Hi,
Time for another project, this is becoming a habit so to speak. This project will be a collaboration with another well known modeller on this site, we will be building the same kit separatley in a parallel build, I will let collaborator introduce his creation. My 1:15 scale CVR(T) FV107 Scimitar will be a vehicle on exercise on Salisbury Plain Training Area (SPTA) during the early 1990's.
So here's the photo's of what you get not all the items are on display but there is at least one of each in the photo's.
The kit.
 
The big bits and crew.
 
Bins and stowage.
 
Metal sprocket rings, Idler mounts and tools.
 
Suspension and tracks.
 
Hatches, lights and catches.
 
All the small bits.
 
Etched brass, rod, wire, solder and rope.
 
Finally the Decals.
 
Cheers
VI

Its big!  Thirteen inches long!I made the early version in 1998-99 time out in Dubai. I bought the kit before I went (wished I waited then I could have got it tax free). getting hold of paint anmd bits was difficult with only one model shop and I use the term loosely. Still got it finished and it sits in it's own box on top of the display cabinet.

Hi Vi
 
I'm in on this one carn't wait to see what you do with it, any thoughts on colour schemes as yet? Now we just need Tamiya to release the Chally2 in the same scale.
