About product

Challenger 2 (1:35, Rye Field Model)

An injection-molded plastic kit of the British Challenger 2 main battle tank in 1:35 scale from Rye Field Model (RFM). The version matches the standard combat configuration of the vehicle. RFM is valued for fine surface detail and a well worked-out running gear; the package usually holds workable individual track links, photo-etched parts, clear parts and decals for several marking options. The exact contents of the package are given by the manufacturer's instructions.

The real subject

The Challenger 2 is the main battle tank of the British Army, developed by Vickers as the successor to the Challenger 1. It entered service in the late 1990s and carried a 120 mm rifled gun and Chobham/Dorchester type composite armor. It proved itself an exceptionally resilient combat platform and was used among other places in the Balkans and in Iraq. It is among the best-armored tanks of its generation.

Building and painting tips

Glue the plastic with thin modeling cement. Finish and paint the running gear and the lower hull before you close the upper parts up. Assemble the workable tracks patiently and let them dry thoroughly. After the base color, best over a primer and with an airbrush, lift the surface with dark washes in the recesses and with dust or mud pigments on the running gear and the lower areas.

Who the model is for

  • Collectors of modern British armor
  • Modelers who appreciate workable tracks and the fine detail of RFM
  • Anyone interested in NATO tanks and present-day conflicts
  • More advanced modelers with experience of tracked vehicles

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

FAQ

The kit usually holds workable individual track links, which once assembled take a realistic sag. The exact type of tracks is given by the manufacturer's instructions.

It is 1:35 scale, the most widespread one for military subjects, and it offers generous detail.

We would point it rather at more advanced modelers: assembling workable tracks and fine photo-etched parts calls for experience and patience.
