The 1/144 scale of Chiffton is rare, and the jacket of the gun barrel and the elegant curves of the turret are accurately reproduced, making it a wonderful item.

The detailed model is not specified, but the car length cupola is one piece, the NBC protection device at the rear of the turret is an old model, so it is probably a Chief Ten Mk.3. The distinctive curved surface at the front of the turret is also well done.
