Overview of Trumpeter 07106 1/72 Challenger I MBT NATO Version

The Trumpeter 07106 model reproduces the British Challenger I Main Battle Tank in 1/72 scale, reflecting its role within NATO forces. The miniature captures key features such as the Chobham armour layout and the 120mm rifled gun in a small footprint suitable for limited shelf space.

Operational History and Modelling Appeal

Introduced in the 1980s, the Challenger I combined heavy protection with effective firepower, remaining in service through the 1990s and early 2000s. Modellers who favour modern armour will find the kit useful for dioramas or display runs that show NATO formations.

Construction Tips and Finished Display

The kit demands steady hands for assembly and decal placement. Components are engineered for accurate alignment, and a finished build displays clean lines that illustrate the tank's combat role.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/72
  • Material: Plastic
  • Assembly: Requires glue
  • Paint: Not included
Small fittings are represented but delicate. Use fine tweezers and thin cement to secure fragile pieces without excess glue marks.
Some modellers choose aftermarket tracks or resin details for extra realism. Check compatibility with 1/72 accessories before purchasing to ensure fit.
Single-vehicle plinths, small dioramas with a base footprint, or grouped NATO vehicle displays work well. The 1/72 size is ideal for shelf collections.
