Refurbish Antique Chieftain Kit
The EBay rescue.
Luckily, the seller took some decent photos of it!
Besides a few lugs and grab handles, I think it is complete.
Apparently, the Tamiya instructions at the time were a little vague on where to put the exhaust muffler! LOL
The parts not yet in the Purple Power. Yes, that is the original Tamiya electric motor. Only managed to break off one road wheel axle. I'll call that a WIN!
The rest of the parts in the Purple Power, along with the deck from a 16 inch Monogram USS New Jersey that I hope to finish stripping sometime this millennium...

Just seeing what I can do for this old thing without spending a gazillion dollars! LOL Going to use some spare decals from the newer Tamiya kit and maybe some leftover parts from my Takom Mk 5P. I want to try to keep the rolling tread WORKING!
