RVG03365 1:72 Challenger 1 (24/ctn)
About this item
The Challenger 1 had a significant impact on British military history as a main battle tank from 1983 to 2001, receiving his baptism of fire in the Gulf War in 1991. Continuous modernization, especially the additional armor of the Mk. 3 version, made it one of the best-protected tanks of its time. The massive 1,200 hp engine gave the 62-ton colossus a remarkable speed of 56 km/h. This 1:72 scale kit features highly detailed surface texture with precise engravings and replica of the characteristic additional armor. A movable turret and realistic main cannon allow for different display positions. Includes multilingual, illustrated building instructions and high-quality decals for both design variants. Two authentic versions can be represented: 17/21 Lancers (BOAR) and Bosnia-Herzegovina 1996. Ages 12yrs+.
