Skp have had the following announcement on their website for a while now: Great secret surprise ! ! coming soon !INJECTED MOULD KIT OF BRITISH AFV FROM WW II !

Well the kit has now been confirmed as a Challenger A30.

Although Skp haven't confirmed kit SKP 025 as the A30 Challenger yet they have published a preview photo of one of the sprues identifying the kit.

I don't know much about the Challenger A30 but much as I love Shermans I think the release of a British made tank like this in plastic is a good thing for the hobby.

Further news and photos as we get them.

Great news Pat ! It's a natural follow up to their A30 Challenger book !! Now if only DML, Tamiya, Trumpeter, et al would do some other British/Commonwealth AFV's !!! Cheers jjumbo

Those are inded great news subject wise plus the Challenger was used by the polish forces . I just hope they made some progress since Humber release and the A30 will be better detailed But above all I hope the trend of releasing british AFVs will continue (from whichever manufacturer) Cheers Greg

Why bother? AFV Club have announced a Churchill III in 1:35 scale, so that catered for as well
