The FV4034 Challenger II is the most advanced battle tank in the British arsenal. The hull and chassis are based upon the Challenger I, but the Challenger II incorporates over 150 improvements for better reliability, lethality, and maintainability. The Challenger proved highly effective in Operation Iraqi Freedom as it engaged a much inferior Iraqi Army.
Designed as a Main Battle Tank to improve upon the Centurion, the Challenger entered service with the British Army in 1983. © Copyright 2003-2024 The Flying Mule, Inc.
Forces of Valor's 1:72 scale Challenger II Tank has a diecast metal hull with a large, low-profile 360-degree rotating turret constructed in plastic for maximum detail. The turret has a detailed elevating metal cannon, a machine gun and a hand-painted crew figure. The side skirts are fitted with simulated heavy canvas drapes and explosive reactive armor panel details. Other fine details can be seen on the fire extinguisher, suspension, headlights and separately-applied armor plates with beautifully recreated nuts and bolts. The two external fuel tanks include engine intake and exhaust vents and there are rolling rubber tracks and wheels.
