OK bits left... as far as I can tell...

Water vane on the front, rear towing gear, back deck hinges, co-ax, mantle cover, round thing on the hull RHS, aerial mounts, NBC Kennel details, smoke launchers.... and probably more!

I have always thought it was a beautiful tank. In the mould of iconic vehicles such as the Jaguar E type, the Spitfire and Hurricane, Kinda British looking.  :-*

You really should follow up with British Leyland’s second most iconic tank, the P76. How many sedan cars do you know of that could fit a 44 gallon drum in the boot. Shared many of the handling characteristics and mechanical issues of the early Chieftains too..  :)

Em dezembro de '81
Botou os ingleses na roda
3 a 0 no Liverpool
Ficou marcado na história
E no Rio não tem outro igual
Só o Flamengo é campeão mundial
E agora seu povo
Pede o mundo de novo
