Hi folks, I got this sweet kit from Paul a couple of years ago. I wanted to wait for the right time to build this since it is my favorite tank of WWII.
here it is.
And look at what was inside this awesome present:
Metal track and gun, resine stowage kit, springs for the suspension and a wee PE sheet.
May the plastic gods bless the holly man who sent me this offering!
More soon fellers!

I hope you have fun with it Phil . I lost my taste in Churchills back then as one went really wrong . Still, this is now in really capable hands and I'm looking forward to seeing this beast surface

Nice kit but putting the suspension together can be ‘fun’ unless you have three arms. There’s also a mistake in the instruction where two very similar parts are swapped around, I’ll try and find some links if you want?

Darn it, ive just build one side of the suspension 😨 Went pretty well, Ive used my gunsmithing bench vise to hold the whole thing while glue was setting😉 pretty cool working suspension I must admit. Except the part that I may have to redo it😂

Any pics yet Phil-meistro I’ve only built one, well half built, and the instructions I followed just made it easier than the kit ones as there was less to get stuck together at the same time. Anyway back to the build as I do like a Churchill.

One panier done, went well, lets hope it goes the same for the other side.
Ill use Jason's link to assemble the lower parts of the suspension. It seemed a very intelligent way to procede.
more soon!

Remember that if it all goes wrong it’s definitely Paul’s fault
