    This is a 1/35 Scale British Main Battle Tank Challenger 2 (Desertised)
                        Plastic Model Kit from Tamiya.

     The Challenger 2 features improved second generation Chobham armor capable
of withstanding armor piercing and shape charge rounds. The fire control system
was updated with the latest digital technology. The 120mm L30 rifled main gun
provides improved muzzle velocity and accuracy, and enables the Challenger 2 to
discharge armor piercing, HESH, smoke and depleted uranium rounds. Special
modifications to tanks deployed to Iraq included reactive armor added to the
front, composite armor on the sides, a special cover to reduce exhaust heat,
canvas skirts to reduce dust ingestion, Commander's Independent Thermal Viewer
(CITV) and Combat Identification Panels (CIP).
