Trumpeter 07106 1/72 British Challenger I MBT NATO Description

The Trumpeter 07106 model kit recreates the British Challenger I Main Battle Tank at 1/72 scale, reflecting its NATO service profile. The miniature captures the tank's Chobham armour contours and the signature 120mm rifled gun in a tidy, collectible size.

Operational Role and Collector Appeal

From the 1980s through the early 2000s the Challenger I was a mainstay of British armour, prioritising protection and firepower. This kit appeals to collectors and modellers interested in late Cold War and post-Cold War armoured vehicles.

Construction Advice and Showcase Ideas

The kit offers precise parts that require neat assembly and patient finishing. Once complete, the model displays well on a shelf or as part of a NATO formation diorama, showing off period-accurate markings.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/72
  • Material: Plastic
  • Assembly: Requires glue
  • Paint: Not included
Assembly time varies by experience, but expect several evenings for careful construction, painting and decal work to achieve a neat finish.
Tracks are moulded plastic and intended as a static representation at this scale. For running models look for specialised aftermarket options designed for 1/72 builds.
A good hobby knife, fine files, plastic cement, sprue cutters and a selection of brushes or an airbrush are recommended to get clean joins and paintwork.
