The Matchbox kit, which was re-released by Revell was in 1/76th scale. This is the first in 1/72nd, and does look quite nice.

Well ... these Dragon Churchills are another "could have been great" so far but lets see what the review says. The very poor exhaust was the worst feature, moulded on tools and tool cables are just to be expected now.
