I'm on a bit of a small budget this month thanks to my air con breaking on the way back from my holiday in Scotland.

I was looking to do the Tamiya's CR2 but I didn't fancy to do the desert camo. So which is the best Trumpeter Challenger 2?

I have the KFOR Challenger with Dozer blade. I cant comment on the buildability of the kit, but just looking at the sprues certain parts are going to need replacing as they are too weak in detail. For example, the GPMG. The tracks also need to be replaced as they are some stiff material that doesn't offer much in detail. I know there are some fit issues that will need sanding and dry fitting, but overall its a good model kit.
