1/35 British MBT Challenger-1(mk.3) Gulf War
Trumpeter 1/35 British MBT Challenger-1 (Mk.3) Gulf War is a plastic kit of the British main battle tank from the Gulf War. The kit has 670 parts. Paints and glues required for assembly are not included.
The Challenger 1 was a British main battle tank armed with a 120 mm gun, introduced in the 1980s. In autumn 1990, as part of Operation Granby, two British armoured regiments equipped with the latest Mk.3 version deployed to the Persian Gulf; the tanks were modified for desert operations, including additional armour. In the 1991 ground war they fought with the 1st British Armoured Division.
According to the manufacturer, the Trumpeter kit in 1/35 scale consists of 670 parts, and the finished model is around 336 mm long. The box art shows the tank in sand finish with an inverted V – the recognition mark of coalition vehicles – and the tactical number 40. The model suits a collection of modern MBTs or can be the centrepiece of a desert diorama.
The large scale shows off the additional armour on the hull sides, while the single-colour sand finish leaves room for subtle weathering with dust and faded areas. Paints and glues required for assembly are not included.
