Is this a re-tool of their original Challenger, similar to the upgrade of their Bradley, or another of those Italeri crossover's, they have been releasing lately.

Rob, it's a lot more than just a "re-tool." Like the real Chally 2, it uses some stuff from the C1, but for the most part it's a new kit. To simply dismiss it as a "re-tool" does that fine kit a huge disservice.

Check out this review for the full story:

Digger, where've ya been? That kit's been out for two months now!
I appreciate your goodwill, though!Big Smile [:D]

Rob, I have to apologize! I thought you were calling the new Tamiya kit a "re-tool," but I just noticed your post started with "Is it..." rather than "It is..." meaning it was a question, not a statement.
Sorry about that!

A question mark really would've helped, though!Wink [;)]

Anyhoo, check out that review of the kit that I posted above for detailed info.
