Challenger 1 (UK)

Developed for the Shah of Iran, the Challenger 1, following the Islamic Revolution in 1979, was rapidly redesigned to become the accidental Chieftain successor, entering British Army service in 1983. First British tank to be fielded with the revolutionary Chobham armour, which gave it high level of protection and survivability, the Challenger was produced at 420 exemplars.



The kits are from Trumpeter. Easy to build and very good looking 😉 (made 2016)
