Finished this one a few weeks ago but never got around to taking any photos. Tell me what you think!
Tamiya 1:35 Churchill mk7, built OOB.

Looks extremely good to me - the roadwheels (amount of) always puts me off of this tank!!

Gday Dave
Looks beaut
I think you have recreated the dust/dirt look perfectly, and it has blended well with the rest of the tank...
Do you know any of the history of this particular Churchill?
Cheers

Hi Dave!




Yep! (Brushed on crushed pastels wasn't it?)
Not too much as to look over dominating, just a little to show some interest.
Is it 100% finished, or are you going to add some bags etc?

As you know, I've seen this in the 'flesh', and it looks just as good now as it did then!

Harry

Thanks for the comments guys, much appreciated.

-Chris, the roadwheels really didn't take that long, even brush painting the whole thing. It's a good kit, don't let them put you off it.

-Brad, I did read the Bovington Tank Museum's history of it when I was building it. If anyone is interested, here is the link. By the way, some of the markings I used on the model (unit insignia and vehicle number) are not the correct ones. The kit does provide them, but I messed up one of the numbers and used different unit markings because they were easier to trim carrier film off.

-Harry, yes the weathering is pastels sanded down and brushed on. I'm not putting any bags or anything on this one, it's completely finished now.

Hi Dave,

Nice job you've done on the kit, a grand finish. Decals, ah I hate them LOL, LOL.

Thanks for sharing.

Cheers

Hi Dave,

Great job!
I'm currently finishing it and I enjoyed building it.
This tank is very particular and I was surprised when I put the kit near my
Tiger. Less high but more long!
So, congratulations,
Philippe

Thanks Philippe! I'm glad you like it.

Hi ...
The churchill (avre ) is one of my fav AFVs and I noticed the one comment on the amount of roadwheels being daunting...
I totally agree and felt EXACTLY the same untill i started my AVRE this week..and sonofagun the roadwheels just kinda fell together..not an intimidating task at all!!
In fact to play the salesman for a second its a really easy build (havent got to the turret yet Jim McI in Canada
