The Challenger MBT has been the mainstay of the British armor since the late 1980s. The Challenger 2 is the latest model with enhanced electronics devices and strengthened armor. Its great efficiency was evidenced during Operation Telic in Iraq, 2003. Trumpeter brings us the desert version of this MBT, as deployed in the war. The additional side armor with fabric skirts, the most characteristic points of the desert C2, are reproduced with superbly molded parts. The CIP panels, very distinctive and noted in the daily news, have been included as well. Not only have they included additional parts, Trumpeter has not neglected to rectify some minor molding errors in the original kit (TRP00308) parts. Tracks are the rubber band type. No figure included.
