Dear friends,
I am referring to the Trumpeter Challenger II with enhanced armor kit.
The kit seemed to sport darkish green monotone colour, do they have any in desert yellow? Is this tank protoype or serving somewhere in Afganistan?
Cheers

IIRC The kit straight from the box is a training version,you have to remove the red triangles from the armour as they show that the stand-off armour is inert.
The monotone colour is standard although the dozer blade mounting is sometimes seen in desert yellow.
Hope this helps.

To my knowledge there are no Challenger 2 serving in Afghanistan nor has there ever been.
1 Royal Tank Regiment have just returned from a deployment there and were operating Warthogs.
The green is standard to all enhanced Chally 2s serving in Iraq.
Hope that helps.
