Thanks Forbes very informative review, much better than peering at contents for an extended period of time.

I have 2 afv club Churchill's in my stash with another on my wish list ( carpet layer ), but feeling a little trepidation now :scratch:: .
I will have to come back to your thoughts when I dig one out for sure !

Thanks

I found the instructions, when I first opened them, intimidating. I didn't what to do a review and say the model is hard, just by how the instruction/parts looked and then have it turn out to be a cakewalk, nor did I want to guess that it would be easy, tell everyone that and they get stumped on what I had decreed was easy. So the only honest way to to the review was to get stuck in a see what AFV's Churchill suspension is actually like.
It's just different, which means don't rush through and assume what you do on Panzers, etc is the same on this. It a slow build (the suspension anyway) as parts do have to dry before moving on. The "ladder" section is the only area that really could be done wrong if you rush it. If nothing else, at least there's no rubber on the wheels to be painted....
