Description

The Churchill saw much action in World War II, from the 1942 raid on Dieppe, through the heat of the battles in North Africa, to the bitter fighting in Normandy 1944 and into the Reich in 1945. Despite criticism that it was slow and outmoded in terms of design, it proved itself a rugged and solid vehicle.This title provides a comprehensive guide to modelling the Churchill across a range of skill levels, featuring challenging builds of numerous marks and variants, including brideglayers, flame-throwers (such as the Crocodile) and customised assault vehicles (such as the spigot-mortar armed ARVE).

Reviews

"Not just for Churchill fans, as the techniques on these pages could be out to use on many other modeling projects. A definite must have from this modeler's point of view, very highly recommended for any and all treadheads alike!" --Mark Smith, Armorama (August 2005)
