Thanks guys
How would a Churchill crew repair a broken track in the field?
They would not have had access to an angle grinder or welding equip.

I hope welding isn't required for the new kit.

Cheers Charles

Welding the track pin retaining flange in place - starts at 1m 6 seconds

We will not expect people to weld the pins in place

- instead we will use a lightly knurled track pin and a grub screw.

Looks great!

Any chance of optional barrels? Such as long 6 pounder or 75mm for Churchill MIII*?

Cheers,

Alex

Or a no turret option so an engineering bridge laying version can be built.

While we're waiting for the order book and the even longer wait for delivery, could we have a few more images of the model please!

Cheers,

Alex

We made this today - Exhaust Outlet - part number EX0634 for the Churchill.

The image below shows the actual part on a MkIV Churchill at the Tank Museum in Bovington and the part that we made.

Churchill tracks - to avoid people having to weld plates on the links to hold the pins in place (like the real thing

) - the track pins are are knurled at one end. As a belt and braces approach we also have a grub screw that will lock the pin in place.

Engine air intakes for the Mk III - these went through several changes during the evolution of the Churchill Tank

Front and front deck of the Churchill. Almost complete - just need to add in the lights and hull mounted machine gun - which will be animated with a servo.
