Hi Karl ...I think you pretty much have to take the plunge and buy the screens ..I haven't seen a Challenger without them ...


if you want a few pictures of the Challengers here are a few links..

You're spoilt for choice when it comes to grills for a Chally II, Tamiya do their own set as do EDuard, Lion Roar and Voyager models.

The Voyager PE screens are incorrect as they have a "strip" (lack of term) in the middle of the two large screens, which is incorrect. These "strips" are underneath the screen.
