Product Description

Authors: Graeme Davidson Pat Johnston About this book Introduced to the British Army in 1983, Challenger Main Battle Tanks have served operationally in the Balkans & both Gulf Wars, where their firepower, protection & shock action were instrumental to the success of British forces. In addition to the familiar gun tanks, the Challenger family encompasses the Rhino Armoured Repair & Recovery Vehicle (ARRV), highly modified Desert Challenger 2s operated by the Royal Army of Oman & the radical Falcon 2 being developed by the Jordanian Army. This book covers a wide range of these variants, with each chapter presenting a different build using colour photos to illustrate scratch-building, painting & weathering techniques across a variety of skill levels.
