Hi can anyone help with markings for AVRE Churchills in Normandy, specifically any Mk IV references would be good. I've seen a few photos which seem to have big turret numbers on them. I suppose a large air ID star on the turret roof too? WD numbers would be great and AoS markings( I've seen Blue Square with 1233 in white is that right?) .
I'm assuming all were badged as 79thAD

cheers

Paul

Hi Paul,

Email me and I'll send you the listing I have that should help.

Graham at Resicast used to do a set of markings, but I'm not sure if they are still available. Perhaps, he will re-issue them with the arrivala of the AFV kit.
