Hi all

Apologies if I'm a bit behind on the news on this one...received a feed from HLJ this morning & saw RFM are releasing a Chally 2 TES in Feb.
Any modern Brit guys got some thoughts/opinions/comments on the this? Where does this model fit in amongst current Brit armour?

TIA
Shaun

A very welcomed release, looking very cool.. i dont even think uk is using this tank, it's only a demostrator tank.. right me if I'm wrong

I can't wait.

I've seen sprue shots with both the Dorchester packs and the standard baz plates so you can build a standard vehicle or Megatron.

If it's anything like their M1 kits, I'll be a very happy bunny

Can you provide a link to the sprue shots with the standard side skirts?

This site provides a sprue overview but there is no indication of standard side skirts. There is nothing indicated on the RFM site either about a standard build but it would be a wise option for RFM to provide. Hopefully decals will be included for a BATUS Chally 2 if it is an option.

Hey All,

It's been some time since I was here. For the last 6-8 months, I have gone over, exclusively, to the dark side (i.e., wingy things), but I did happen upon the Rye Field Chally 2 TES tank, and I think it's FABULOUS! I still have 2 Tamiya Challenger 2 Deserted kits in the stash, and since that kit was the first model I build when i got back into the hobby 10 years ago (and certainly is in need of being replaced), I had planned to build a straight-up Challenger 2, then one with the bar armor on the rear and turret...and now, maybe this new beast. Really cool!

Thanks...I managed to locate the sprue image in the interim.

How about a challenger 1?

tamiya does s chally 1 but the rear of the turret is wrong but this can be hidden with an aerial recognition panel

Its rather old and has too many inaccuracies/lack of detail.
