Trumpeter 07106 1/72 Challenger I MBT NATO Kit Summary

The Trumpeter 07106 kit provides a faithful 1/72 rendition of the British Challenger I Main Battle Tank used in NATO service. The model emphasises the tank's protective Chobham armour and its 120mm rifled main armament in a collector-friendly scale.

Background and Why Model This Tank

The Challenger I was a principal main battle tank for the British Army from the 1980s onward, valued for protection and punch. Modellers interested in modern armour will find this subject rewarding for study and display.

Building Experience and Presentation

Expect a focused build with parts that align to recreate the Challenger I silhouette. The completed model makes for a clean display item that illustrates NATO-era tank design without occupying much space.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/72
  • Material: Plastic
  • Assembly: Requires glue
  • Paint: Not included
Intermediate modellers will find the kit straightforward; beginners can complete it too but should allow extra time for small details and careful painting.
Basic builds look good as supplied, though adding lightweight weathering, stowage, or aftermarket stowage items can enhance realism on the finished model.
Seal the model with a clear varnish after decals and weathering. Use satin or matt finish depending on the desired look, and avoid direct sunlight when displaying.
