johnny akes Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 Hi Folks This is the ancient (1977 pop) Tamiya Churchill. Now I'm no armour expert by any stretch of the imagination, but despite its age this still looks pretty accurate compared to the photos I've seen. Probably let down a bit by the bent antennae, I might have to change those. Regards J A 27 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Badder Posted August 15, 2018 Share Posted August 15, 2018 Sure is an oldie, but great nonetheless. You've done an excellent job. A lovely tidy build and nice paint finish. I really like the reddish dirt, although there's not enough on the tracks or the underside at the front and rear, given the state of the wheels. On the antenna front, If you do replace them, then the aerial on the commander's side looks about right for length but the other should be about half as long again. Rearguards, Badder 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jean Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 I know even less than you do about armor, but I like... very much! Always wondered what's in the trailer, and always too lazy to visit Mrs. Google... Knowing the Brits, it has to be a wheeled tea pot to keep the brew just right for the CO... When it all goes to the dogs, have a cuppa! Great show. JR 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John_W Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 Lovely build. I wouldn't leave the camo net sitting on the exhausts though, they got very hot. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only put it there because it was the only place the rolled up camo material would lie realistically flat. Thanks both for the kind comments. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
