The latest addition
to the armoury is this British Churchill heavy tank.
This is a Warlord
plastic model sold jointly with Italeri. The level of detail is good enough (although
not at the same level of the Rubicon models) and the box comes with half a
dozen potential variants (including the AVRE “bunker buster” with the petard
mortar gun).
I decided to build the
mainstream Mk IV with the 75mm gun. The markings are those of the Grenadier
Guards in Normandy 1944.
Painted using
airbrush (as explained in detail the previous post about the British-crewed Sherman)
and pigments for the weathering work.
I have built a nice
British armoury over the past months, featuring a Cronwell, a Firefly, a
Sherman and now the Churchill. My plan is to buy now an additional model to
build the AVRE version and eventually finish this British AFV series with a Stuart.
Very nice
ReplyDeleteVery nice paint work on a lovely model
ReplyDeletecheers John
Thats a lovely looking model AI.
ReplyDeleteLooks absolutely top notch! If I‘m not entirely mistaken the Warlord plastic Churchill misses some minor details for the AVRE. But I‘m no expert on British tanks so might be mistaken.
ReplyDeleteLooking good. The kit is actually not a bad one, and I now have two turrets so I can do the Petard armed version with a quick turret swap.
ReplyDeleteNicely done.
