Ok two really
I have the new AFV club Churchill MKIV, and i would like to do a Canadian version. but I am not too sure that canada even operated the MK IV.
and the only markings I have seen for them are the Dieppe raid MK III's

so the questions are does anyone make decals or maybe just have reference for a Canadian Churchill MK IV. in any theatre
and what is the best colour match for a Churchill tank in either Tamiya or Valejo acrylics.

At Dieppe the Churchills used were Marks 1, 2 & 3. Sorry no mark 4's

Ok guys to clarify I am looking for marking for a MK IV NOT the Mk III
I may not have been too clear on what i asked earlier. the ONLY markings I have found are for a canadian churchill have been the MK III's at DIeppe

Armoured Acorn.

Pages 4 and 5 show MkIVs with The Ontario Regiment in 1943.

Ultracast do some general decals for that Regiment. And look around for Mike Starmer's paint mixes - specifically SCC2 and G3.

Glad to help.

You can also print your own decals using Testor's system or a laser printer and paper from http://www.lazertran.com
