Uparmoured Challenger 2
Having built Cromwell Models’ excellent resin Challenger 2 some years ago, I wasn’t that eager to build the Trumpeter kit until some aftermarket conversion for the uparmoured variant, which looks very different, started to appear.
It might seem a bit fruitless right now to convert Trumpeter’s “straight” Challenger 2 to the uparmoured variant with a resin conversion but at the time neither the Trumpeter uparmoured Challenger kit nor the forthcoming Tamiya kit were available. I’m having fun with this project anyway, more fun probably than I would building a plastic kit straight out of the box!
Note that I was aware of the accuracy problems of the Trumpeter kit but initially didn’t want to make any change to the base kit/conversion combo, but I couldn’t resist some minor modifications, nothing as drastic as Leo Lee did though (see his blog). |
