This is another of my full scratch built project done 2011. Won a Bronze medal in Euromilitaire 2012. Base kit is Dragon 1/72 Challenger 2 fully converted to the Challenger 2 TES 2008.

Good afternoon,
The folks on here who build the 1/16 Challengers will be hard pressed to add the amount of detail to their tanks that you have on this tiny Wonder. You will have to show us the Magnifying rig and micro tools that you work with sometime.
regards,
Painless
