I am thinking of buying a Challenger 2, but which one should i get? I know there are loads on the market, but which is the best?

Maybe you can take a look at Terry Ashley's reviews of Trumpeter and Tamiya offerings :
Trumpeter's Challenger 2
Tamiya's Challenger 2
Sorry I can't help you with Accurate Armour's kit...

Having done all three i would say that the tamiya kit is the best all round. The trump kit is OK but the detail is not as good. The accurate armour kit is probably the most accurate one but it comes at a price and if you are not familiar with a resin kit is a bit of a nightmare.

Hope that helps.
