Hi SW,
yep I had a spare set of Leo tracks though yes they will fit? :thumbup: but no luck as you said too wide though about a spacer 2mm seams to do it!! But it will weaken the sprocket! Too much. So it's a waiting game for the upgrades Still gives me time to do all the top deck mods that need doing :/ . Brian...

Nice work, masking is a pain - unless it's Tamiya tape, that stuff is good!

Damn shame that the Leo metal tracks won't fit well on the Challenger. I guess HL doesn't know what NATO STANAG means.... :problem:

Well, at least this means more time for aftermarket producers to make those metal parts. Since I don't have a Challenger and would rather get one when metal tracks, idlers, track tensioner, and sprockets are also available, this means the longer wait is ok.

I am jealous though as all of you are having great fun with your Challenger tanks. :haha: ;D

Looking good dude, I was going to do the little round bit above the reflector but had nothing to use to hand! What you going to use for the cages? Also your anti slip looks cool so am nicking that idea for mine it's on order now!

Am a ghetto modifier, I just used a paper clip :-) am going to add the mounts on the side using really thin sheet metal and some other assorted bird I have to hand! On another note I have had a moment of genius! Going to mount power switch and charging port/ volume's in the rear fuel drums! Anyway Paul excellent work as always!
