Are there any sets available for 1/72 modern armour. I have a Revell Challenger 1 here looking kinda bare and forelorn.

I believe Goffy Models has a few. Check in the review section here at Armorama.

Verlinden does a generic moden Braille set #1887.
Legend does a set for the Revell (possibly good for Dragon too) M2A2, #LF7203.
The Goffy set is 7207.

CMK and Armo and a few other manufacturers also have some 1/72 modern stuff that can be worth a look. CMSC has even released a Challenger 2 turret and some tracks for the Revell kit. You can find some reviews here :

Maybe you should try to order them from Modelimex :

thanks for the links and ideas guys. The modelimex site is awesome 72 pages of 1/72 accesories, most for planes granted but there are a few gems in there for AFVs.

Actually, Planet Models makes one for the Challenger 1.



Hannants stocks it.

I ahve all the CMK sets for the Bradley, M1A1, and Challenger. Plus the generic modern sets from them too. They are very nice sets. Lots of goodies. I also got the Legend Bradley set, the second one. It is way better than the first Bradley set.
