Good evening,
Thank you for your feedback.

A few days of rest allowed me to resume my lessons.
I made the modifications suggested to me on the Churchill.
For decoration, I initially intended to make an MK.VII in Normandy, but the Tamiya model is a late Mk.VII. The bulges on either side of the barrel did not appear until September 44, and the tank commander's cupola model appeared only at the end of the same year.
Knowing next to nothing about the organization of British armored units, I went rummaging through my books to come up with a credible deco. Great disappointment, I couldn't find a photo of a late MK.VII in the Western European theater of operations showing the characteristics of the Tamiya model. So, having read that the MK.VII replaced combat losses in the Tank brigades (renamed armored brigades in February 1945), I decided to make an anonymous tank belonging to one of them at the beginning of the year 45.
So I left on one of the two Armored Brigades that took part in the operations in the Reichswald forest in February 45. If I'm not mistaken, the 6th Guard Armored Brigade operated there in support of the 15th (Scottish) Division. on the axis Nijmegen - Clève. (I will refine the research while continuing the decoration). The weather was relentless rain and mud.
The numbering of the Tank Brigades having changed with their change of name to Armored Brigade, I applied numbers presenting a tank of the 1st Troop, 4th Battallion Grenadier Guard, 6th Guard Armored Brigade, after the change of numbering which occurred in February. I hope I didn't screw up.

Alongside my Stug III I started weathering the Churchill. Weathering two kits in parallel is quite a tough test, which is why I move faster on the Stug.
