Yes I know that the group of 3 periscopes should go to the front, I didn't realize their position until after they were glued in.





The Wheels and Track are next.

If you have any of the AFV Club AVRE Churchill Mk III then they have a great "Spare" universal all round vision cupola which fits. You can also use the Tamiya CHurchill one which fits inside the splash ring as it should.

Thanks for the Info. All unfortunatly I allready had the kit parts modified and installed when I read this.

It's painted.


The Track mostly cleaned up.


It'a an easy clean up, just one snip and a little trim with a knife.


Next to assemble them.

I used 105 links for the Tracks, 104 would have been to tight putting a lot of tension on the track link joints.

I lined up the ends over the idler wheel giving me something I could press on to snap the ends together.

For a "dog of a kit" it turned out pretty good!
