Hey all ! i've broken with tradition (well mine any way! )
i'm taking a break for ww2 armour and mainly german subjects , and i just bought my first modern kit since i started modelling almost millenia ago! tamiyas challenger " 2 desertised ,
can anyone tell me where i might find a nice series of walk around photos on the net ? looked for hours and cant find anything of much use:(
also i need photos of the muzzle reference device on the end of the barrel ,and specifically on the top of it ! there doesnt seem to be any anywhere out there !
hope you all can help ! cheers folks !

Steeldog51, here is a link to get you started. The C2 in these pics has the armor package that was used in Kosovo, so there are some differences. In general the details will be pretty much the same. Also check out the MOD website, there are quite a few pics of the C2's used in Op Telic. As for the MRS, top views are very hard to come by. Try contacting "PiperDan" as he is very knowledgable on the C2. A few months back he posted a sketch he made of the MRS on another site that would be a big help. If you can't get him PM me your e-mail address and I will send it to you.

You should have a look at JW deBoer's website as he still has a very nice Chally 2 walk around posted:

Regarding the MRS, I have some photos that I can't share (because I bought them from JW deBoer) but I can share the following sketch:

I hope this helps your build.

Cheers - Dan

Thats very helpfull guys ! thanks a ton !
Dan, not worried you cant share the piccies mate, thats understandable! i'm not too concerned about seeing photos as such, your sketch was perfectly fine mate all i needed was some thing to go on the flat bland looking tamiya housing that was pretty correct ?
Mike thanks for the links! i should be all sorted now thanks very much again

Kenaz,
Have a look here and vist the exersize albums I've a few pics of Chally 2's and stuff from when I was in Germany this year with the TA

davy thats fantastic mate !
it even going to help me on the weathering of the desert colour scheme! cheers mate !

This is my first post here.. just found this site and it's great! I've been away from this hobby for 15 years or so.. and am back with my first kit.. the Challenger 2 (Desertised) from Tamiya.

Thanks for the great pics.. it's gonna help tonnes with the weathering effects.

Ciao!
