Default 1/15 Challenger Tank

Its not RC, but maybe it could be converted, either way it looks fantastic

I would seriously doubt that this could be converted, the description says multimedia meaning the kit is a mix or resin and white metal parts so you would have to make lower hull complete with all road wheels suspension and tracks no small task especially as no one makes them in 1/15, the basic kit starts at £600 plus conversion, I would seriously doubt we will ever see one of these converted, rather nice the kit is but they will only ever be static

That's a lot of coin for a 1:15 static kit.

why would anyone want something above a 1/24 scale that isn't RC'able?....I guess I just don't get it....

Heng Long do have a Challenger in the making though when it will be released is anyone’s guess, Heng Long have been very generous this year with 3 releases that in its self is quite some financial undertaking, my own guess based on the fact they have only just released the Leopard is you won’t see a Challenger before spring next year, let’s see what they have at the Nürnberg toy fair at the end of January
