Chiefs 1/35 Tamiya Churchill Mk VII

Hi guys, all done with this one. An old kit from tamiya, but went together like a dream. I put fit way above accuracy when rating a kit, and this thing gets 10/10 from me! I added the PE set from Eduard, not a massive set, but still adds some finer detail that's hard to manufacture in plastic. This also renewed my love of PE, I'd sort of gone off it a bit. Some of the prices just can't be justified, but this set was quite cheap, and you get a lot for your money. You do get some figures with this, to that end the hatches are only glued with PVA. That way I can add the crew later if required (I have a long term plan for my 1/35 British armour) lol!

Anyway, enough of my drivel, on with the show!

As ever, thanks for looking fellas, cheers!

Holy-crap Chief, that is the badgers nadgers!!!

Love the colour of this and the tonal variation looks superb. The mud and dirt is spot on and the whole thing should be titled *A Top Drawer Example of Painting and Weathering".

Brilliant!!

Wonderful work Chief!
I see you've left the front fenders off.
I wanted to do that also, but I decided to give here a bit more body.
And I needed a place for the stowage and tank riders.

Once again a brilliant piece of work mate!
