Challenger Armoured Troop

The Challenger was introduced in 1983, and was being introduced to the British Armoured Regiments stationed in West Germany, first with the 1st Armoured Division. It was fundamentally a super-Chieftain, with an improved engine and transmission, improved armour incorporating Chobham composite armour plates, and the TOGS thermal imaging system.
We have also included the option for ROMOR armour, which consisted of explosive reactive armour added to the front hull armour, and Chobham composite skirts in place of the bazooka skirts. This is an armoured package that was developed to apply to the Challenger in times of war to give the tank further protection.
The Challenger still has the powerful 120 mm L11 gun like the Chieftain, with its long range and excellent armour penetration.

The Challenger Plastic model comes with all the parts to either the Challenger or the Challenger (ROMOR).
