Product: 1/35 Brit. MBT Challenger 2 Desertis.(2)
Tamiya presents the British Challenger 2 MBT to the Military Miniature
Series, further adding to the 1/35 scale MM Iraq series of models. Great
to build and compare with previously released British MBT including the
Centurion (89555), Chieftain (35068) and Challenger 1 (35154) or other
vehicles active in Iraq such as the U.S. M1A2 Abrams (35269).
About the Challenger 2
Compared to the Challenger 1 MBT that saw service during the Gulf War,
the Challenger 2 features improved second generation Chobham armor
capable of withstanding armor piercing and shape charge rounds. The fire
control system was updated with the latest digital technology, including
a panoramic Commander's sight with built-in laser rangefinder and a
thermal gunner's sight. The 120mm L30 rifled main gun provides improved
muzzle velocity and accuracy, and enables the Challenger 2 to discharge
armor piercing, HESH, smoke and depleted uranium rounds. Special
modifications to tanks deployed to Iraq included reactive armor added to
the front, composite armor on the sides, a special cover to reduce
exhaust heat, canvas skirts to reduce dust ingestion, Commander's
Independent Thermal Viewer (CITV) and Combat Identification Panels (CIP).
Warning! Not suitable for children under 14 years.
