Here is my interpretation of a Churchill III of the Calgary Armoured Regiment at Dieppe. I'd been interested in the Dieppe raid for a long time, and the opportunity to get a copy of the AFV Club kit at a big savings on eBay got the ball rolling on this project. The tracks are a resin link and length set from Accurate Armour, the exhaust pipe extensions were scratchbuilt with evergreen tube, brass strip, and some plastic bolts, the base for the exhaust trunk on the rear hull is a modified Tamiya item, the fire extinguishers are from Tamiya's Universal Carrier, and the tank commander has a Tamiya body, DML arms, and a Hornet head.







There are a few more pics in my gallery if you're interested. Thanks for your time and attention.

Nice work Ed. the exhausts might be a little thick for 1/35 scale but you've got the shape right I think.

Ground work looks very appropriate, great build.
