Challenger 1 Mk.3

[TheCat]

One of my favorite Modern Tanks.

It looks like the British took a note from the Russian Tanks and added external fuel barrels on the rear.

Model Kit: Tamiya Kit # 35154

Scale: 1:35

Nice tank

[Agent G]

I love it!

The Chally is a bad mofo. That loooong barrel is the thing that sets it apart from the M1A's. This sukker can get a hit at over 3000 yards, and has..............

Who makes a 1/24 Challenger?

Who makes a 1/24 Challenger?

Yes, who??? That would make an AWESOME dropdeck load for someone who builds Semi's (someone like me...lol).

This is a very nice build, perfect colors, well executed assembly, what more can I say?

Guys, a jap company called Toy Star makes the Chieftain, (TS 148-3000), and Both a Russian T-100 (TS 13-2000) and the T 34/85(12-2000). Model Craft makes a Chieftain (25001) also. Tamiya makes the Jagpanther(1330) and aTiger 1(3311) and a T-34 (89569) They also make a Centurion(30614-5500) All these are in 25th scale. I ended up buying two M1A1 Abrhams from Franklin mint also. All these tanks run in the 70.00 range, EXCEPT the Franklin Mint Tanks. They were 180.00 back when i bought them. They ARE pretty well detailed and come with crewmen. Thay build up REALLY nice, but they ARE BIG, and take up ALOT of room(especially compared to CARS!!!) ;)

Fantastic build! Am about to buy this same model and wondered if you could tell me which colours you used here? Are they Tamiya colours?
