Hi all, Rye Field Model will release a Challenger 2 Megatron. Looking forward to see this and hope some company will also take care for the Challenger 1. A decent model of the Challenger 1 is still missing.
Cheers and happy Christmas for all of you!

I for one am glad you posted. Since I don’t get to enjoy as much online time as others I managed to miss the original. Of of the things about “news” items is that they completely disappear from the “AFV” forum unless, or until, they are responded to again. Sometimes news items get buried so quickly it’s easy to miss them unless you actively search them out on that forum. Hence my belated replies to many threads in that forum.

Perhaps you could miss the news if you visit "latest posts" page exclusively. However, the recent news items are listed on Armorama homepage.

I just looked at it on TMN. It's a definite no from me. It has those ultra delicate workable tracks used by Meng. An abject nightmare to me, the links break just by breathing on them. That's aside from the 5+ hour assembly time.



For the Leo2A7 I found the track pins (blue) to be extremely weak, even a little bit of tension when fitting the tracks over the running gear leads to tracks completely dismantling or breaking.
