I do love Churchills !! Looks as if it's coming along ok.
I'm currently building the same kit, but chopping it up and using the Legends NA75 conversion to produce a tank of the North Irish Horse, Italy 1944-45.

I'll look forward to seeing this one finished.

its a nice fit realy, the only things parts that have seems are the to be hidin once the tank is fully assembvled so no putty required. except for the turret, as you can see i puttied all around hte top because it didnt fit super well, but my concern are the tracks since its the first time i try rust:-?

happy you enjoyed,

Good Ole' Churchill.... I always loved that tank.

One question though : Did you post it in the diorama forum on purpose (is there a diorama coming up featuring a Churchill), or was it "an accident"
