The Academy British Army Challenger Mk.3 Model Kit features the British main battle tank (MBT) that was in service from 1983 to 2001. This classic tank is a great addition to any model collection. The tank was armed with a 120mm L11A5 rifled gun (retro-fitted with L30A1), with 7.62mm L8A2 and 7.62mm L37A2 machine guns mounted on the turret roof. The equipment included virtually impregnable Chobham composite armour for protection against threats including kinetic energy penetrators and high-explosive anti-tank (HEAT) rounds. Other defensive measures included laser warning system and smoke grenade launchers. Challenger 1 performed very reliably in the Gulf War in 1991 and without loss. Mk 3 has passive armour plates and extra stowage bins for 120mm rounds. The model kit captures the tank in 1:72 scale. The kit will be ideal for any adult model collectors, and it requires paint and glue (not included). There is a choice of three markings: Riyal Scots Dragoon Guards, Kuwait 1991; Queen's Royal Irish Hussars, Tank Museum, Bovington; Queen's Royal Dragoon Guards, Bosnia 1996.Pack size: 15.9 x 26.1 x 4.1cm (6.3 x 10.3 x 1.6 inches)Scale: 1:72Features a choice of three markings Requires paint and glue (not included) A great addition to any model collectionAcademy British Army Challenger Mk.3 Model Kit 1:72
