Better late than never, I get on with finishing the Churchill Build:

 

Completed turret dry fitted to the hull, trailer assembled (wheels not glued) and some minor filling:

With the tracks masked up, it was time to get on the under coats

The tank and trailer were then sprayed Dark Green, while various other detailing parts where painted. Once everything was dry the Churchill re-assembled and the parts glued into place carefully.

Once everything had dried thoroughly the Decals where added (all 5 of them)

She was then returned to the paintshop for initial weathering..

I then attacked her with weathering powders, before declaring her finished.

Is the tank destroyer a British vehicle for destroying tanks, or a vehicle for destroying British Tanks?

Confused folk are worried...  :senile:

 

Do the boat, do the BOAT!!!

I like BOATS!!!

It's a Tank Destroyer that's British, but is actually an American design with British 17 pounder barrel - just to muddy the confused waters, even more than Tamiya already have :jester:

 

Do the boat?  Wait and see ;)

Soooo....

Given the American liking for "friendly fire", the US version might be for destroying British Tanks, even though we used a lot of American tanks...  Its the Special Relationship!

 

S'pose I'll have to wait and see.... :jester:
