While serving with the RAF in Iraq I had the opportunity to study
many British Army vehicles in detail. The Challenger II with its sand
scheme and canvass side skirts was my favourite.
On my return I got hold of the Trumpeter kit (they now do a Basrah
tank!) and set to work with scrap plastic, resin and paper tape. The
result was a model that gives the feel and statue of the real thing, all
for next to nothing.

I have been lucky enough to come first in class at the IPMS Salisbury
show, win the IPMS Farnborough Wattisham Anker Trophy and best of all
the West Middlesex Model Clubs 'Don Sharpe' Memorial Trophy.
