discussion English (British) tanks?

[Guest]

I am thinking of doing a tank but it must be an up to date one and from England (Britain) Suggestions please guys?

The most recent British MBT is the Challenger 2 Mark.


Tamiya do an excellent one in 1/35.

Wot 'e said ^^^^^^^


Challenger 2 is the only current UK main battle tank. We flogged the Challenger 1s off somewhere, probably 'friends' in the Middle East, with a nice backhander involved for someone

Why not do a Trumpeter as 90, it's big, it's British and it's modern.

It's certainly a big gun! It's not a tank though. Do we still call these things self propelled guns (howitzer in this case)? It doesn't have wings, so I'm not so sure on all the modern nomenclature

I`m not saying it`s a tank Steve, but when it comes down to British modern tanks, you become fairly limited, it`s all that`s out there are Challengers, something a little different...and you have the as-90.

Absolutely, I agree 100% and it is a bl**dy big gun !
