About product

British Challenger 2 (Op. Telic, Iraq 2003) 1:35 (Trumpeter)

An injection-molded plastic kit of the British Challenger 2 main battle tank in 1:35 scale from Trumpeter. This boxing captures the vehicle in its Operation Telic form, the British deployment in Iraq in 2003, with add-on armor and side skirts over the running gear. The box contains hull, turret and running gear parts and a decal sheet with markings for the Iraq deployment; check the exact contents against the instructions in the box.

The real subject

The Challenger 2 is a British main battle tank that forms the backbone of the armored forces of the British Army. It is known for exceptionally tough armor and, as one of the few modern tanks, it carries a rifled 120 mm gun instead of a smoothbore barrel. During Operation Telic in Iraq in 2003 the Challenger 2s proved themselves in the desert environment as well as in fighting in built-up areas; the vehicles received add-on armor and carried a characteristic desert finish and additional equipment.

Building and painting tips

Assemble the running gear and the tracks before closing the hull and fitting the side skirts. Seat the add-on armor panels carefully so that they line up. Bring the desert shade to life with a lighter dry brush on the edges and a darker wash in the grooves; you create the sandy cast with fine dust pigments over the whole vehicle, more strongly on the running gear and the underside. Worn metal on the edges of the hatches and on the step surfaces will support the impression of a machine in service.

Who the model is for

  • For collectors of modern British and Western armor in 1:35 scale.
  • For fans of the deployment in Iraq and of contemporary conflicts.
  • For an intermediate level of experience, as a rewarding basis for desert weathering.
  • For builders of desert battlefield dioramas.

The model is supplied unassembled and unpainted. Glue, paints and accessories are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
