		I had glanced at the polling data myself and was daunted by the challenge, so I very much appreciate the challenge you faced in analyzing them and the work that you did.
		It seems to me that for this discussion to have any direct relevance to this year's election, we should disregard all of the years in which the outcome of the election was a foregone conclusion by Election Day.
		It appears that much of the aggregate net gain amassed by challengers from 1956-96 is attributable to challengers who LOST in contests whose outcomes were never seriously in doubt.

		Challenger is a development of the Centurion/Chieftain line, modified to produce the Shir/Iran 2 originally planned for service with the Iranian forces.
		The main differences between Challenger 1 and its predecessor Chieftain are the Challenger engine, which produces 1,200bhp at 2,300rpm, far more powerful than the Chieftain engine, and the Chobham Armour, which gives very high protection levels against anti armour weapons.
		It is planned to begin withdrawing the Challenger 1 from service in 1998 and it should be completely replaced by Challenger 2 by 2002.

		The larger Lancer Skulls are very well done (the close up shows a smaller one, which is not called out for use on the QRL tank for some reason), and you can plainly make out the “Or Glory” motto.
		These would do well on a Trumpeter Challenger 2, but the 2 RTR call-sign 21 markings are duplicated in the new Tamiya kit.
		The Tamiya kit decals for this option have some minor discrepancies compared to the Bison instructions, so the best advice is to find a picture of the specific vehicle you want to model and base your markings off a photo.
