Historical description and application of the base model

The British Chieftain MBT main battle tank was one of the most advanced NATO armored vehicles during the Cold War. Introduced into service in 1966, it was mainly used by the British Army as well as the armed forces of Iran and Kuwait. The Chieftain participated in numerous NATO exercises and occasional conflicts, including the Iran-Iraq war. Its hull featured characteristic, external stowage bins, which were often modified and adapted by the crews in reality – this is why the accurate rendering of their details is particularly important for modelers seeking realism.
