Hi

I've been trying to find a photo of a 'the Black Prince Churchill". From what I know, it was a churchill with a 17pdr fixed in the turret, that was supposed to be britians super tank (besides the tortoise) and tie together it's cruiser and infantry tank lines. I think it died in prototype because the centurion was so good. If German fans can get away with hypothetical maus' I can get away with the black prince (cool name no?).

Does anyone know of any photos or diagrams

Thanks again

Jeff

I believe I have the tech drawings for this tank somewhere. Contact me via email and I'll dig up what I can.

Thank's. That's what I was looking for.

I'm glad it has the weather proofing over the mantle, that makes things easier.
