I have a 1/10 challenger1 tank made by the apprentice in Barnbow in Leeds in the 80s,It has been restored and its fully funtional with electric drive and the main gun is pitch stabilised and the turret is gyro stabilised.It even has a rotating beacon on top of the turret.

The Challenger with the man in the white coat is still around; not as big as the Chieftain by some way but still a substantial model. Power unit is gone but the transmission is still there. Suspension works and the track is made from individual links. The model at present weighs around thirty kgs. It looks like the elevation was controlled by a simple mechanism. All pictures taken today.[ATTACH=CONFIG]90766[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]90767[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]90768[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]90769[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]90770[/ATTACH]

Is the challenger for sale? please PM me and name me a price if this is the case.

Hi all: Just found this forum by chance and its right up my street so to say! I am interested in all things military and aslo model making.

Cheers:-D
