Anyone up to build this?

What is it?










~ Jeff

If I remember correctly it was supposed to shoot bangalores at fortified positions.

Panther Thanks for resizing the Ribbon

Tiger that looks like a cool build idea

Sascha (Ironowl)

No problem, glad to help out!

Hey, I see you got it on the Campaign Page too! Good work!










~ Jeff

Thanks Jeff It took me a couple of trys but i got it lol. due the campaign length i Think i might try a second build as well a Churchill ARV still doing some research.

Tiger Would you happen to know if there are any Churchill Variants that used the rocket Launchers like the ones used on the Sherman Tanks (on the Shermans they were mounted over the Turret Just curious.

Sascha (Ironowl)

Anyone ever Build the Tamiya or Afv Churchill Kits if so how do they compare. ive gotten a Tamiya and ive Ordered an AFV Kit so i was just wondering Ive Found Tracks and lots of PE and a few barrels. just recevied my copy of Mr Churchills tank am looking around for some good walk around Photos of a MK VII Churchill.

Take Care

Sascha, you're thinking of the Sherman Calliope. As far as I know there were no 'Hobart's Funnies' like that, then again there were a lot of odd prototypes. I'm confident that none were fielded in the ETO. It's possible post-war Churchills used by other countries had a similar set-up but I wouldn't know for sure.

I don't have any other 'oddball' Churchill photos besides one of a destroyed Churchill in Bagdad, 2003. Nothing notable about the photo other than it's in Iraq, of all places. I'd suggest looking through Wiki. Even if you don't find a Calliope type Churchill you'll still find plenty of good stuff.

Man... decisions, decisions!


I need to stop watching and looking over references. I saw quite a few Mark I's and III's IN the desert campaign and it's weighting on my choice.








But this is still impresive:




Oh well... there's still time!










~ Jeff

Panther Those are Both Good Build ideas. and yeah we've got plenty of time. I still havent figured out if I'm going to build the ARV as well.

Tiger thanks for the Info.
You Have A Picture of a Churchill in 2003 in Iraq, would like to see that if possible.


Cheers

Just picked up A Churchill III kit saving that one for a different project and i just ordered the Arv Conversion kit for another churhill


Sascha(Ironowl)

Well After seeing the Desert Churchill's i May try one of those myself i seem to have gravitated towards the desert theme ww2 and modern as of late .

Cheers
Sascha(Ironowl)

Yeah, I know! A Churchill and Matilda II in a desert dio maybe?

Man! A December start!! It'll feel like eternity!










~ Jeff

lol it'll take me that long to get all my ideas ironed out

Me too!

Were we separated at birth?










~ Jeff

Hello all beeen very busy in the Non model building world.

Am looking at getting a set of tracks but cant seem to find any that would fit on my MK VII from Tamiya does anyone have any ideas


Sascha (Ironowl)

Hello all just thought I'd Bump this build a little, Arv Conversion Kit looks cool trying to figure out what Churchill Kit to Use with it, My Mk VII is locked in. Any Ideas ??


Sascha(IronOwl)

Things may be quiet at the time but they're pretty hawt right here.

Thinking maybe a Churchill passing a burnt out Matilda?

Still undecided but will be there when the flag drops!



~ Jeff

Hello Sascha, I have two sets of AFV Clubs glueable one piece soft plastic tracks. The material is very similar to
Dragons DS stuff. I´ve done a quick comparison to the Tam. kit and they should fit. If you wish to have them PM your address.



Paul

News from Accurate Armour... drooling over Churchills..

Ok count me in with this old guy...


You Churchill guys are cool!

Was searching thru the stash for something suitable to use in the 2nd D-Day Camp. 70th Ann. and this popped out of the pile. Hope it's acceptable.
Oh, and I've never built a Churchill either.

Now the wait...
Cheers Dave

Welcome aboard Dave
Paul thanks for the Offer I just picked up a set of those and Then saw your post
Nito those look very cool
Jeff That sounds like a cool Dio Build

"CHURCHILL UP"

Sascha(Ironowl)

O.k Sasha that´s no problem after all it was your cash .
But the offer is still open to everyone else on this campaign




Paul

I watched a D-Day special last night and even though it's really scary how they loaded the Petard Churchill, I cannot get over how B.A. it really looks.

So, I'm in with a Petard. Or the Howitzer. No... the Petard for sure now.
