I thought I would share this project hand brushed with tamiya acrylics.Next step is to weather it although it is at this point that things usually go badly wrong,any comments welcome,please dont stroke my ego I can handle it.

All I know about Challengers is that looks way cool. I assume it is the Trumpeter kit?

Your Chally 2 looks great Matt. I am not too far off completing the Trumpeter kit too...

What were some of the issues you ran into, building it? This one may make my stash list.

I used standard nato green and nato black as the nearest match I try not to mix colours too much. The kit went together pretty well apart from the side and rear turret boxes and there was an issue joining the 2 turret halves together, some warping with the molds.
