The most recent British MBT is the Challenger 2 Mark.


Tamiya do an excellent one in 1/35.

Wot 'e said ^^^^^^^


Challenger 2 is the only current UK main battle tank. We flogged the Challenger 1s off somewhere, probably 'friends' in the Middle East, with a nice backhander involved for someone :smiling3:

And it looks much nicer than the Abrams (apologies to our American friends ;) )

I've never built a Challenger 2 but I hear good vibes bout it from Tamiya builders.

Why not do a Trumpeter as 90, it's big, it's British and it's modern.

It's certainly a big gun! It's not a tank though. Do we still call these things self propelled guns (howitzer in this case)? It doesn't have wings, so I'm not so sure on all the modern nomenclature :smiling3:

I`m not saying it`s a tank Steve, but when it comes down to British modern tanks, you become fairly limited, it`s all that`s out there are Challengers, something a little different...and you have the as-90.
