Trumpeter 1/35 British Challenger II Main Battle Tank with Heat Guards
The Challenger 2 Main Battle Tank is the current MBT of the British Army and represents the culmination of 80 years of tank design. Its development began in 1986. In 1987, the design was presented to the Ministry of Defense in response to a requirement to replace the Chieftain MBT that had been partially super ceded by the Challenger 1 MBT. Production began in 1993, and the tank finally entered service in 2002. This plastic model kit is an accurate representation of the military vehicle.
