Revell-Germany's 1/72nd scale Challenger I MBT. I liked this kit, by and large. The fit was pretty decent and I thought it had nice engraving and pretty reasonable detail for the scale, though the mesh on the various turret "saddlebags" isn't really mesh and the smoke grenades aren't very convincing. But the FN-MAG machine gun is good, the detail of the thermal covering on the gun barrel is very good, and the various screens and vents on the engine deck responded nicely to drybrushing. The downside is that this kit came with link-and-length tracks, something I've never really liked, and there is no crew at all. I painted it per the instructions, with black camouflage over olivish green paint. I like the effect, though the turret has such a low profile it's tricky to paint.

You may already have noticed, but you've put the gun in upside down, the muzzle reference sensor should be on top of the barrel, not the bottom. Otherwise a nice build.
