CHALLENGER 2 MBT 2nd Gulf War, 2001 Had this for a few years and with my current British trend, this one won the vote for my next build. (Apologies for the terrible picture quality here) Usual Tamiya fayre, plenty of parts and their standard easy fit. This build includes PE Set 35277 - PE Set for Challenger 2 comprising the Engine Grills and Name-Plate Typical Tamiya with no Sponson fillers - come on Tamiya, when will you learn??? Sponson Filler dimensions are 196mm long, 21.5mm wide of 0.5mm Plastic Card. The outside edge is shaped to fit just inside the outside of the upper hull. I have applied 60thou rod as a support and shall fill the gaps once dry. None of this will be seen in the final construction but I feel it helps to make the Hull a bit more rigid. Side Armour is the simplest of builds at just 3 parts each for the sides and 5 parts for the front section. Basics done on the rear hull and the Shrouded Exhausts installed. The terrible Tamiya plug grab handles will all need replacing on the rear deck for any semblance of detail. Next Time: Rear Hull, Front Hull detail Turret and Main Gun
