Challenger 2 is only used by Britain and the Sultan of Omans Army.

I believe Canada uses a home grown derivative of the Leopard 1.

Happy modelling

Hi Recon
If you want to model a Challenger 2 in Canada then there may be some at BATUS (British Army Training Unit Suffield) funnily enough located at Suffield(no idea which state).To the best of my knowledge they will be in original condition i:e no add on armour and will be painted in green and sand.

CFB (Canadian Forces Base) Suffield is located near the town of Medicine Hat in the South Eastern part of the PROVINCE of Alberta. BATUS is located in this area as well. There are typically several large exercises every year carrying the name 'Medicine Man' which would either reflect the location (near Medicine Hat) or the legends of the native Canadians of the area.

Cheers - Dan
