Looks really good so far - love the environment you've created. The one comment I'd make is that the diabolo (31st Armd Bde marking) is too bright. It should be a darker green - the same green as used for the background on the Arm of Service marking (992 - 9RTR marking). It's likely that the green badges would not show up very well against the main colour of the tank.

Hi Jerry,
Your Churchill is looking spot on, really love the subtleness of your weathering...something I struggle with,.
I'm presuming this is the Tamiya kit, same as the one I've used? If so, the padding on the inside of the commanders' hatches isn't included in the kit, did you use the ones from the gunners' hatch as you have yours closed, or did you make them from some other material/source?
Again, a great build and paint job.
Cheers,,

Just like riding a bicycle Jerry !
Looking good after your long hiatus from armor.
Thanks for sharing !

You have fitted the antennae for the 19 A set and the 38 set but not the 19 B set, which used the stalk on the turret roof. I believe it was around 20” long.
The standard fit on any Mk. VII would be a single 19 set with A and B components. By the time the Mk VII was in use, a 38 set was sometimes also installed for comms with infantry, given that the TBs were used for infantry support.
Command tanks would have an additional 19 set for comms with higher HQs but they may have dropped the 38 set in that instance.
