Challenger 2 build
Challenger 2 build
This build started as the Henglong Challenger its now got the DKLM metal hull the chobham amour from Forgebear and a lot of scratch building and painting by a friend whos ability to build and paint is far beyond anything I can do. The rear plate was scratch built we had a problem because the hull seemed to be a few millimetres to long. Its not complete yet the RWS needs sorting out lights and more detail adding..

The gator needs weathering yet and its very effective with the recoil unit.

Re: Challenger 2 build
I am sure I got them from my local model shop, and I think they are for the HPI carburettor, they are normally just called dust boots.. I will be seeing him tomorrow I will see if he as any in stock I would think they will be difficult to get at the moment same as everything else!
