1/6 Challenger upgrades

Post by jeman »

Hi guys, the 1/6 Challenger has had a fair bit done since my last post….although I did take a while out……I’ve also motorised the GPMG hatch so the gunner now rotates, the commanders sight rotates and so does the gunners sight. Lots of stowage bins opened up and boxed out with kit in….the track has also been upgraded with stainless steel track ends and bars…..took me ages lol.

Lol, thanks for your kind words……I’ve had it for a few years but havnt done anything to it for a couple of years at least ! Just removed the top to charge the battery….although it will need a new one. I really want to remove the crappy electric es and replace with something decent and updated sound card….will see 👍

Hi ….it’s a MARK 1 TANKS model in the UK……but the actual tank is from Russia ! Because of the war I believe they have had to shut shop due to not being able to import them anymore….don’t think they even have a website anymore either ! They are all fibreglass and the Challenger weighs around 90kg. Not many of them around…….👍
