During the 1980s and early 1990s the Challenger 1 main battle tank
played a central role in Britain's armoured forces and it achieved
remarkable success in combat, destroying around 300 Iraqi tanks in
the Gulf War. With its advanced Chobham armour and hydropneumatic
suspension system, it was one of the most sophisticated and
effective armoured vehicles of the time and, in a modified form, it
is still in service with the Jordanian army. It is also a popular
subject with tank modellers and enthusiasts, which is why this
volume in the TankCraft series is of such value. Archive photos of
the Challenger 1 in service and extensively researched colour
profile illustrations depict the tank throughout its operational
life. A large part of the book showcases available model kits and
aftermarket products, complemented by a gallery of beautifully
constructed and painted models in various scales. Technical details
as well as modifications introduced during production and in the
field are also examined and provide everything the modeller needs
to recreate an accurate representation of the Challenger 1.
