Hi guys,

Here is one of my latest, the HASEGAWA CHURCHILL MK I. This kit is a real gem and I really recommend it. I hope you will like it!

Happy modelling!!

Looks good Hervé.

I didn't realise Hasegawa did 1/72 AFVs.

Very nice, I have two here from that manufacturer. This kit also is the donor for my posted Calgary relic. REally nice kits, well fiting and good detail. Nice to see another Canadian/Calgary Regiment vehicle. Great looking model mate, very nice indeed.

Lovely model. Built a few small scale tanks and it can be difficult to get a realistic finish but your Churchill is spot on. Very well done.

Very nice! Hasegawa's tracks usually let them down, but with the slabs that're on the Churchill you get away with it nicely. I had a tiger that just looked awful..

Many thanks guys!!

Lovely job Hervé.

I built one of these recently as a MKI and liked it so much I bought another. The only disappointing part was the decal sheet.

I'm undecided whether to build the next one as a MKII or the so called CS version of the MKI where the two pounder and 3 inch howitzer were swopped.

What a great build and finish! Makes me want to hunt one down and try to build it

[MANDRAKE68]

Thanks Ray! This kit is really a beautiful one and goes together very easily, give it a go, you'll be very pleased!

A beautifully built model. But one point; from late 1941 SCC2 (brown) was the basic colour for new builts and repaints. This replaced the Khaki Green 3 colour previously in use that had ceased production and was being phased out. SCC2 came into use as the basic colour of all vehicles and AFVs by late 1941 and remained until early 1944. Many of the vehicles on D-Day were still brown.

I should perhaps add that the source is MTP 46/ parts 3, 4 & 4A, Painting of Mechanical Transport' November 1941.

That is superb! It's good to see 1:72 armour modellers on the site. Please show some more of your models!

Very nice-looks great

Many thanks for all your kind comments! Also many thanks to Mike STARMER for his constructive comments regarding my kit. I had checked some reference colour photos and thought I could go on with the green paint. But it is my belief that there were some exceptions to the official rules...But thanks again for the references provided.
